The Right Whale: Patagonia | Nature Documentary

Here is a short documentary about right whales that I made off the wild coast of Patagonia, at the southern tip of the South American continent in September 2023 under Government permit: the tale of my experience in the realm of these gentle giants of the southern seas.
The Valdes Peninsula is a Patagonian nature reserve and UNESCO World Heritage Site located on the coast of Argentina.
It is home to an important breeding population of the endangered southern right whales that from June to December migrate from the chilly waters of Antarctica to the warm and protected waters of the Peninsula to meet other whales, mate, give birth and take care of their calves.
With more than 1.300 specimens visiting the area annually, the Valdes Peninsula contains the globally most important breeding grounds of the Southern Right Whale, a species that had severely suffered from commercial whaling.
At the beginning of September 2023 I traveled to this untamed area renowned for its unique wildlife to film the southern right whales, one of the most extraordinary and impressive ocean inhabitants that I have ever had the privilege of seeing.
