Wildlife filmmaker Thomas Behrend embarks on a thrilling expedition to document these majestic sea mammals that are becoming increasingly endangered. With a team of marine experts, he traverses from the rugged coasts of Greece to the steep cliffs of West Africa in search of these giants and phantoms of the sea.
