Details
How To Be A Whale is a bioacoustic listening journey - a soundscape of many hundreds of scientific recordings woven together into a story told through the lives of seven different whales and dolphins in a celebration of the sounds of the sea.

Tom and Vahakn bring together the most striking, evocative and unusual marine recordings together with recent discoveries about their lives to imagine what it might be like to be a humpback whale, orca, spotted dolphin, blue whale, bowhead whale, pilot whale and baby sperm whale, and their lives among fishes, coral, crabs, sea urchins and seals, from the tropics to the poles to the deep sea. It’s made by writer and wildlife filmmaker Tom Mustill and music and sound specialist Vahakn Matossian with support from the charity WDC.

Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.
