I love movies about true stories. This is the true story of 3 gray whales trapped in Alaska in 1988 and the international cooperation it took to free them.
I had no idea that this happened when it did. I was busy with 3 baby girls at the time, but it is a heart-warming story and worth the watch. Drew Barrymore plays Rachel, the Green Peace person bringing attention to the story around the world along with the help of Adam Carlson, the reporter played by John Krasinski. It's an interesting story well told.
Or course, there are some politics woven in - President Reagan was very interested in getting these whales saved and President Gorbachev was asked to help at the last hour. Presidential candidate George Bush also had something to say about the situation.
Put it on your Netflix queue and watch it when you need a feel good story.
