  • This is the emotional story of one young killer whale's quest for companionship after he was separated from his family. Luna was just two years old when, alone and confused, he found himself on the rugged, wild coast of Vancouver Island. Following his tumultuous life, the film records the human friendships he developed and the trouble this led him into. From death threats, to numerous capture attempts by the government, the film-makers watched as people tried to determine his fate. Luna shows us how quickly our lives can once again cross with the natural world.
    Director: Suzanne Chisholm et Michael Parfit

    If you want the villian in this tragic story, look no further than Marilyn Joyce. Who amazingly appears in this documentary. She esssntially killed Luna with the thoughtless application of her theory about the 'wall of separation.' She was too narrow minded to grasp that in certain exceptional instances, that philosophy needed to be set aside. If the plan forwarded by the journalist couple had been approved Luna might still be alive.

      Very true. But you are casting the net blame to widely. The humans which offered Luna friendship did not make a mistake. The journalist couple and native resource officer who put forward a very sensible plan to look after Luna did not make a mistake. It was a handful of idiots in the Canadian government who all but sealed Luna's fate.

    I can't believe that DFO manager lady said "......we just didn't feel that Luna needed rescuing.......". Someone needs to take that lady 2000 miles from the nearest human, and tell her she has to walk out on her own, with no means of communication. We'll see how many animal friends she has by the time she gets back to civilization., that is, if they don't ignore her "for her own good"!

    One thing that I see when I look at a case like Luna or Springer for that matter is how quickly these animals bond. Springer had very limited contact with people and even once she was reunited with her family and found a foster mom, she still chased boats for a little while until said foster mom put a stop to it. And Springer was practically isolated from the time we found her to the time she was released. For Luna, there really wasn't any other outcome than to bond with people.
    Not only does that bond form very very quickly, it is also very very strong. And Luna couldn't exactly interact with people up close 24-7. Imagine the other killer whales that do! Good luck trying to break that bond. In fact, I'd say don't even try.! Just. Dont! It might (and I believe it would) cause even more damage.

    Omg' rip "Luna"
    Luna was lonely and was desperate for companionship ,, from what I hear about whales they are in pods with as many as 40 and they stay together for life.
    Luna was alone, as for the people who tried everything to keep Luna safe ,bless your hearts, and for the heartless so called officials did not want anyone near Luna, some peoole wanted to even kill her for messing up there boat shame on you all , for not taking care of such a magnificent animal, I wouldn't doubt that maybe she was killed intentionally.. but even if it happened how they say it happened its still the same shit, you people who wanted everyone to ignore Luna , YOU ARE TO BLAME and should pay the consequences, for not doing the right thing , Would you leave a toddler alone? This story really broke my heart,
    Luna should still be alive if humans would just have some compassion and and a heart for these gentle giants these unfortunate things can be prevented..
    ........................... 🐋 🐋 🐋 🐋 🐋
    Just a reminder DO NOT PURCHASE tickets to Sea world or any where they have whales and dolphins etc.. DON'T HELP SUPPORT keeping Whales in SMALL pools ...
    Thank u for sharing this beautiful story
    R.I.P. Luna❤

    This was a beautiful journey cut short by humanity. The warning by an evil man was verbally announced. And without the protection by the right people Luna became a star not a stat. Luna had more love in 5 years than most of us in a lifetime. Thank you to all in the Puget Sound in living with Luna or Tsux'iit as he was known. I side with those of the Mowachaht/Muchalaht First Nations and would have paddled with them beating my drum. We had clearly broken down walls even though the fisheries didn’t approve and shame on their ignorance but mankind thinks it knows everything and creates rules. Luna broke the rules and the boundaries. This Orca was special in so many ways and lived by his rules. To any human wishing him ill will shows their lack of compassion and respect for this planet and it inhabits. I know those are big words for people with small minds but their distasteful opinions show off their ignorance and incompatibility. They likely beat their kids and wives. But for those who showed compassion and love their lives and hearts will be rewarded. That’s a lot of the lesson. Decide which side your own. The dark side or the side representing good. I choose like the children to represent good but will protect those I love. And all I need is my drum.

    This was so sad. Luna was in his home and they were the intruders! As always, the government thinks they own and control everything, including wild life in its natural habitat. He tried to teach them peace and co-existence, they missed a big lesson! All he wanted was love, friendship and family but all they had was anger and intolerance. I think the lesson he was trying to give was pretty clear.
    I don't believe for one second that his death was an accident. It seems they waited until no one was around to get rid of him.
