Summary:
"The heartbreaking and true story of a lonely orca named Luna who befriended humans. One summer in Nootka Sound on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, a young killer
whale
called Luna got separated from his pod. Like humans, orcas are highly social and depend on their families, but Luna found himself desperately alone. So he tried to make contact with people. He begged for attention at boats and docks. He looked soulfully into people's eyes. People fell in love with him, but the government decided that being friendly with Luna was bad for him, and tried to keep him away from humans. Undaunted, Luna refused to give up his search for connection and people went out to meet him, like smugglers carrying friendship through the dark. People who loved Luna couldn't agree on how to help him. The government built a huge net. The First Nations' members brought out their canoes. The Lost
Whale
celebrates the life of a smart, friendly, determined, transcendent being from the sea who appeared among us like a promise out of the blue.
