Editor's Take

Shot over four years near the remote Crozet Islands, this ocean study trails a single young orca as she acquires the skills her survival depends on. The long production allows for moments rarely captured on film, from cooperative hunting to the social bonds that hold a pod together. Its patience is the method: the film watches rather than explains, and gains intimacy for it.

Filmed over four years in the icy waters around the remote Crozet Islands, this ocean documentary follows Delphine, a young orca learning to survive. It captures the trials of a killer whale growing up, from mastering the hunt to navigating the bonds of her pod. The patient filming reveals rarely seen moments in the life of these intelligent predators. Intimate and beautiful, it is a moving portrait of orca life. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
