Movie Haiku:Fact-based tale of an unlikely coalition determined to save 3 whales stuck in an Artic ice freeze. Very Disney, but what fascinates is how press attention determines what makes "news" & how that affects how we allocate precious resources. All the humans have ambitions & "agendas," but in the pinch, they all act good rather than look bad in front of the cameras.
