THE LAST WHALE
http://thelastwhale.blogspot.com
It’s the 1970s.
A group of scruffy hippies climb into rubber boats and head out to sea to face explosive head harpoons. They have whales to save. And they have faith.
The whalers have steel ships, spotter aircraft, sonar, radar and working radios. They have high paying jobs. And they have the law on their side.
