The personal story of one man’s relationship with dolphins; a relationship that has evolved over the last 20 years that Ken O’Sullivan has been a natural history film-maker, through countless hours he has spent in their presence, and in their world. It is also a broader examination of the human cultural relationship with dolphins. Few creatures stir our emotions and imagination in the way that dolphins do, and in the same way Ken’s relationship with them has become more nuanced and complex over the years, the film explores the shifting pubic attitudes towards them. We are no longer comfortable to keep these highly intelligent social animals confined in aquaria, or romanticise and simplify their complex lives, but where has our perception of dolphins settled and are we getting closer to understanding the true nature of these creatures? This film has been a true passion project for Ken, I hope you will find it beautiful, thought provoking and enlightening.
