This is by far my favorite show, not only is it educational, it is also educates you on what is happening in antartica with whale hunting by the government of Japan. I love whales and love the sea sheppard's message of protecting the whales and our oceans from being hunted into extinction. This is a great show to educate your children.

Whale Wars is a fantastic show! It follows Captain Paul Watson and the volunteers in Sea Shepard. They do whatever they can to protect sea life and creatures of all waterways.
