Trailer
Overview
Luna: Spirit of the Whale is a drama and family film released in 2007 with a runtime of one hour and thirty minutes. The story follows a conflict that arises when a government representative announces plans to reunite an orphaned orca with its pod by transporting the whale hundreds of miles over dry land. The Mowachaht-Muchalaht First Nations Band opposes the controversial plan because they believe the spirit of their late chief resides in the ocean mammal, and they do everything within their power to thwart it. As the community becomes increasingly divided over the situation, a young aboriginal boy struggles with his own identity, and new Band chief Mike Maquinna, played by actor Adam Beach, prepares for a trial by fire that could shape his entire future. The film touches on a clash of cultures surrounding the freedom of a single whale.
