One with the Whale
Modern technology confronts ancient ritual in this profound and moving documentary. Teenager Chris Apassingok and his Yupik family live in Gambell, Alaska, a tiny village on St. Lawrence island in the Bering Sea. Life there differs vastly from the rest of the US – for one, hunting whales holds the key to the islanders’ survival. Conflict emerges after Chris kills a whale that will feed Gambell’s townspeople for months – and news of the successful hunt reaches the outside world. Facebook trolls and animal-rights activists attack from afar, captured in Pete Chelkowski and environmental journalist Jim Wickens’ captivating film that delves into environmental issues, cultural and generational challenges, and cyberspace hysteria

Reviews
Stylish but barely mediocre overall
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
