SAVING LUNA is a true story about a young killer whale, nicknamed Luna, who was separated from his pod off the West Coast of Vancouver Island. Compassionate and enchanting, Saving Luna tells the journey of a wild beauty looking for friendship but lost in a sea of human debate and reasoning. As Luna touches the heart and stirs the soul, we are reminded that any being, however small or large, is easy to love and hard to save.
