Atmospheric nature documentary poster with a simple design comprised of a still from the film and the title in the center in a clear thin white font with no additional text. The still that creates the image of the poster is a shot of a small four-person crew of weather bundled people with various equipment on a motorboat speeding across Bering Sea on an overcast grey day.
Description

Hunting whales is a matter of life or death for the residents of St. Lawrence, a tiny island in the Bering Sea. So, when Chris Agra Apassingok becomes the youngest person to ever harpoon a whale for his Alaskan village, his mother proudly shares the news on Facebook. To her surprise, thousands of keyboard activists brutally attack Chris without fully understanding the scope of his accomplishment. ONE WITH THE WHALE is a thrilling yet heartwarming story of one family’s struggle to rebuild their shattered identities and find a way to live with Ancient Indigenous values in the fast-paced, cruel modern world.
