Review

Follows one season in the high stakes battle of protecting the lives of whales on the verge of extinction against the Japanese vessels that illegally hunt them. At the helm of Sea Shepherd is Canadian activist Paul Watson, who left Greenpeace to pursue his own methods. He sets out with a crew of forty-six international volunteers who are relatively inexperienced at sea. Its combat tools include a steel can opener designed to rip open the hull of enemy ships while they lie in port, rope to tangle propellers and stink bombs that make whale meat inedible. The looming question is: how far will they go to save an animal’s life?
Plot Summary: The 3rd Antarctic Campaign was arguably “the perfect combination of imperfections” and the risks taken to stop a Japanese whaling fleet were astonishingly reckless and admirable.

“At the Edge of the World” chronicles this controversial campaign in the uniquely beautiful and dangerous Ross Sea as ordinary men and women, relying on an array of tactics which range from the bizarre to the simply brilliant, face extraordinary odds.

With one ship too slow to chase down the whaling fleet (if they can find the fleet), with their second ship unsuited for Antarctic ice conditions and with no country supporting their efforts to enforce international law, the 46 volunteers become increasingly desperate in this real-life David-vs.-Goliath adventure – their actions raising questions about ends & means, injustice & vigilantism and risk & reward.
In an age when comic-book superheroes rule the screen, there is something very special about ordinary people willing to take extraordinary chances with no assurance that they’ll be around to see the credits. Whether or not viewers agree with their cause, the willingness of these volunteers to risk their lives for something greater than themselves is a reasonably good definition of true heroism. The cause in this particular story concerns the efforts to stop a Japanese fleet in the Antarctic Whale Sanctuary in early 2007. The Sea Shepherd campaign was arguably “the perfect combination of imperfections” and the risks taken were astonishingly reckless and admirable. The adventure which unfolded in the uniquely beautiful & treacherous Ross Sea that winter also brought to life the larger questions of ends & means, injustice & indiffere

nce, idealism & greed, laws & politics and life & death.
