In the Wake of the Dolphin (2016)

This story is about the life of an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin, a wildlife ambassador named Han Solo. One day along a beautiful coral reef, Han showed up outside a dolphin enclosure. The trainers quickly did a head count and determined none of their dolphin were missing. Interesting, outside looking in, this wild dolphin, free to swim wherever he chose wanted to be near humans and his own species. Han is special because his life has bridged two worlds, one as a wild dolphin, and the other as part of a group of dolphins under managed care. Han will be filmed inside a dolphin enclosure, swimming free with his buddies over beautiful coral reefs, sand channels and the open ocean, connecting our story and many of its inhabitants. Han will contribute to our understanding of dolphin behaviors, and he will be the hook that allows us to showcase his marine world. Kathleen Dudzinski Ph.D. is our marine science advisor and educator. Kathleen will also be shown on camera conducting science in our movie. Our giant screen audience today would remember her from the great MacGillivray Freeman Dolphins project in 2000.
