A Soapbox...

Some of you may or may not know this about me. From the time I can remember I wanted to be a marine biologist until I was a freshman in high school. This occupation was chosen simply because of my love for dolphins. (It was only the realization of how much math and science I would need to take in order to obtain this job that deterred me as a high schooler... come on, I was in high school!)

But regardless, my love for this animal has never wained. I find them not only beautiful, intelligent and amazing, but also feel that there is SO much more to these animals than meets the eye.

Which brings me to my newest heartbreak... a friend of mine recommended this documentary to me. I checked out the trailers online and was instantly intrigued. Thanks to netflix it arrived shortly at my house.

I have NEVER been so moved by a film. I cried countless times and still get a "butterfly-ish" feeling in my gut every time I think about it.

If you have any appreciation for sea life, or just LIFE for that matter, take the time to watch this. I'm not going to sugar coat it, its not a pleasant, happy-go-lucky film, but its definitely worth every one's time just to learn what's going on.
