Event Details

This event finished on 22 April 2018

National Canadian Film Day is a massive one-day celebration of Canadian cinema. Presented by Reel Canada, on April 18 great Canadian movies will be available on air, online, and on foot at over 1,000 screenings across the country.

The Whale (80 minutes)
This touching documentary, narrated by Ryan Reynolds, tells the story of a young killer whale, Luna, who gets separated from his family on the rugged west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. As rambunctious and surprising as a visitor from another planet, Luna endears himself to the community with his determination to make contact, leading to many unexpected consequences. “The Whale” charts the community’s struggle to deal with Luna, since whales who are separated from their pods rarely survive in the wild. Raising more questions than it can answer, the film is a truly compelling exploration of our relationship with animals.
