Synopsis:
Saving Luna is a feature-length documentary about Luna, a baby male killer whale who gets separated from his family in a remote Vancouver Island fjord. When the lone young orca seeks companionship from people, he becomes beloved. As years pass, he becomes both treasured and feared. To natives he's the spirit of a chief. To boaters he's a goofy friend. To conservationists he's a cause. To scientists he's trouble. To officials he's a danger. As conflict and tragedy stain the waters, Luna becomes a symbol of the world's wildest beauty: wonderful to know, but so hard to save.
