Synopsis/Details
Hank has seen a programme on the tv, that shows how global warming has benefited orcas hunting seals, as the
ice melting means polar bears are unable to hunt and catch the seals. Hank determines to rebalance Nature by
hunting an orca that has eaten a seal, and feeding it to a polar bear.
Hank goes on an expedition, armed with a rifle and a harpoon. He sees a pod of orcas and follows them, watching
them hunt and eat a seal. Hank fires his rifle hitting two orcas in the dorsal fin, but does not succeed in killing
them.
The orcas upturn his zodiac inflatable boat, and Hank falls in the water, but the orcas do not kill him, once
they have determined he is not a seal.
Hank returns to his long-suffering wife, Marie, who arranges for him to join an Inuit orca hunt, so that he can
pull the trigger and kill an orca. But, will he go through with it ?
