Flußdelphine im Irrawaddy

On Burma's Irrawaddy River, fishermen work together with river dolphins. First they lure the fish from their hideouts, then the dolphins drive the fish towards them. The documentary accompanies the fishermen in their extraordinary interaction with the dolphins – an intense encounter of Man and Beast. The film also tells the story of scientists' small yet important steps to safeguard the survival of the dolphins. (Verleiher-Text)
