"Featuring breathtaking cinematography of this rarely seen, 60-ton great whale, Last of the Right Whales will resonate with audiences long after the final frame fades to black." - Nadine Pequeneza, Director and Producer
"These gentle giants no longer die of natural causes. Instead, they are run over by ships or suffer lethal injuries from fishing gear, and over the past decade, they’ve been dying at a rate of 24 per year. This staggering death toll is fueling a movement to save the first great whale to face extinction. LAST OF THE RIGHT WHALES is the story of a disparate group of people - a wildlife photographer, a marine biologist, a whale rescuer, and a crab fisher - united in their cause to save the North Atlantic right whale. By joining forces these formidable allies are determined to stop the world’s first great whale extinction.

"With 4K cinematography and unprecedented access to the migration of the North Atlantic right whales from their calving ground off the coast of Florida to their new feeding area in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, director Nadine Pequeneza's LAST OF THE RIGHT WHALES brings a message of hope about the most at-risk great whale on the planet." - Ciff Magazine

"Last of the Right Whales is a visually stunning, emotionally engaging and unexpectedly intense ride for a documentary about marine life. Featuring some truly spectacular footage, Pequeneza’s film serves as a reminder of the majesty of the Right Whales and the importance of reviving the species." -Steve Norton, ScreenFish
"Last of the Right Whales is an important story of hope, impact and action." - Tom Grater, Deadline

"North Atlantic right whales are dying faster than they can reproduce. With just over 330 remaining, these great whales rarely die of natural causes. Instead they are run over by ships or suffer lethal injuries from fishing gear. If we don’t stop killing them, in 20 years they could be extinct.
"From the only known calving grounds to the shifting feeding grounds, Last of the Right Whales follows the North Atlantic right whale migration and the people committed to saving a species still struggling to recover from centuries of hunting. Now climate change is forcing right whales further north in search of food, putting them on a collision course with deadly ships and fishing gear.
"With unprecedented access to film the whale migration, Last of the Right Whales brings a message of hope about the most at risk great whale on the planet."
