The Good Whale - Trailer

After the movie “Free Willy” became a hit, word got out that the
star of the film, a killer whale named Keiko, was sick and living
in a tiny pool at a Mexican amusement park. Fans were outraged
and pleaded for his release. “The Good Whale” tells the story of
the wildly ambitious science experiment to return Keiko to the
ocean — while the world watched. An epic tale that starts in
Mexico and ends in Norway, the six-episode series follows Keiko
as he’s transported from country to country, each time landing in
the hands of well-intentioned people who believe they know what’s
best for him – people who still disagree, decades later, about
whether they did the right thing.
