Dolphins

From the dazzling coral reefs of the Bahamas to the wind-swept seas of Patagonia, the Academy Award-nominated Dolphins takes audiences under the water’s surface for a romp with inquisitive Atlantic spotted dolphins, acrobatic dusky dolphins, and the familiar bottlenose dolphin of Flipper fame. Studying elusive, fast-moving animals in the ocean environment is a difficult task, but in Dolphins, viewers will follow young marine biologist Kathleen Dudzinski and her two colleagues, mentor Bernd Würsig and Alejandro Acevedo-Gutierrez, as they research the communication of wild dolphins with innovative scientific methods and interesting technology. From rarely seen fish-herding behavior to a close-up look at complex communication activities, Dolphins gives audiences a fascinating new perspective on the lives of dolphins and their remarkable intelligence. Dolphins is the second in MacGillivray Freeman Films’ Great Adventure Film series.
