I was honored to be a part of its World Premiere , photographing and spending time with the Mirning and Elko island elders.With breathtaking cinematography, the film follows the Mirning people, on a powerful journey, assisted by eighty-five indigenous elders from around the globe, in an historical gathering called to bear witness to their reconnection with their past and their spirit animal totem – the southern right whale
