Dive with Jean-Michel Cousteau for an incredible adventure filled with personal stories and share his joy of swimming with orcas, our counterparts of the sea.Orcas, like sharks, have been treated as bloodthirsty monsters by fishermen, who called them killer whales. They were hunted, slaughtered, then captured to be sold to marine amusement parks to entertain crowds. But who really are these intelligent giants? What is the true story of the orca from the movie Free Willy?
Starting from an adventure in his childhood where he observed captive dolphins, Jean-Michel transports us into the oceans and explains through the drawings of Dominique Sérafini why he believes that whales and dolphins deserve to be protected in a healthy ocean and left in freedom.
In this moving comic strip, Jean-Michel Cousteau and Dominique Sérafini invite us to follow them all over our planet, discovering the true story of the orca Willy. They invite us to follow the teams ofOcean Futures Society, the foundation created by Jean-Michel Cousteau to protect the oceans, from the Mediterranean Sea through Papua and Iceland, to New Zealand where Ingrid, a local scientist, embarks on the rescue of an orca stranded on a beach.
