Description

Keiko, the star of the Free Willy movie series, was the first killer whale to be released from captivity back to the wild, and as such became a pioneer for future killer whale releases, which, in my opinion, are inevitable. I wrote this eBook to describe the enormous efforts of so many caring and devoted people to get Keiko out of Mexico City for rehabilitation in Newport, Oregon, his first step toward an eventual return to the Icelandic waters from where he was taken as a juvenile twenty years earlier. While this eBook is certainly an account of Keiko's incredible journey, it is also an overview of a two-year effort for me and my film crews to document his journey all along the way, ending with a Discovery Channel primetime nationally televised, award-winning documentary. At the end of this eBook, you will have the opportunity with one free click to experience this journey for yourself.
