During four years of shooting in the icy waters of the volcanic archipelago of the Crozet Islands, we have followed the trials & tribulations of Delphine, a young female killer whale.

Living and growing within her family group she gradually learns how to find her bearings, how to hunt king penguins and Minke whales; how to pretend to stand herself.


For the first time divers have dared to swim & risk their lives next to these great predators and have brought back an amazing collection of unique shots. This film is the only one-hour pure blue chip featuring killer whale in a unique enviroronment.
