It poses some interesting questions about what we really know about the natural world and who should define what's acceptable when it comes to communication between humans and animals. Their collaboration is a new documentary about Luna called 'The Whale'. After much knocking on doors, Michael caught the interest of Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson. Michael first told Luna's story in a documentary for the CBC, but to really bring the story to the world he hoped to get Hollywood on board. You will never forget it as long as you live. Let them tell you the beguiling story of Luna, the lost whale. Government authorities were determined to protect Luna and outlawed human contact with him. And though I consider Michael Parfit and Suzanne Chisholm to be friends and colleagues, I feel no conflict of interest in stating they are journalists, filmmakers, and now authors of the highest order. Separated from his pod, Luna began to bond with humans. Like us, orcas are social - they spend their entire lives in extended family groups. He turned up alone in a narrow inlet called Nootka Sound. The story began in the summer of 2001 when Luna lost contact with his family along the coast of B.C. When Michael Parfit first set out to report on the story of a wild killer whale named Luna, he had no idea the story would consume him for years and teach him something important about himself.
