It's really good. It's about this one ship that goes out and tries to stop Japanese whaling ships from killing whales. Whaling is illegal, except for a certian amount that they kill for scientific study. And Japan whales under this guise but the whale meat ends up being consumed by the Japanese population anyway, so nothing has changed~! So it's basically about one ship against an entire fleet of whaling ships in the southern Pacific ocean between Australia and Antarctica. And these people are hardcore. They chase the ships, board them, sabotage them.

I enjoy seeing a group of people who have a passion for helping animals that are themselves helpless. It's an excuse to say "Oh we eat these animals and we have for decades, so we can't change." I don't like to support the killing of innocent animals. Thruthfully I've cut way back on my meat intake and when I can I choose to eat fish or fowl instead of mammals. I also try not to purchase things made from leather or suede. It's really hard to do. It's even more difficult if you try and buy things that aren't tested on animals, but I try that as well. We can't raise whales in a contained enviroment to sustain them for food like we do with cows, sheeps and pigs. They deserve to be protected. And people who have the balls to put actions behind their words get some respect from me, at least.
