- The Archipelago - Trailer"The Archipelago, an award-winning documentary about whale hunting in the Faroe Islands. The Faroe Islands' inhabitants are connected to the modern world and its technology, but they are also intrinsically linked to nature by customs dating back generations, like hunting pilot whales. With their non-commercial whale hunting practice now the subject of international controversy, the clash between opposing ecological visions could change the face of the archipelago forever."
