Filming the humpback whale

A local filmmaker a few weeks into a three-year documentary project about whales, is already making discoveries about the secret life of these amazing marine mammals.

Andrew Stevenson, who directed and produced award-winning documentary ‘Paving Shangri-La’, recently discovered that humpback whales are actually feeding in Bermuda waters, during their spring journey north from the Caribbean. Previously, it was thought that Bermuda waters were devoid of the krill that whales feed on.
