Synopsis:
The film opens on an idyllic sunrise over the ocean where a whale swims while singing the song "I Dreamed a Dream" from the musical Les Miserables. The song weaves through different animals as the singer (in addition to the whale, a rhino, a seal and a pelican) and takes the viewers through beautiful, tender moments. The tone and mood shift to doom as the lyrics turn dark and threatening with the introduction of Man and the impact of actions- hunters, poachers and an oil spill take the animals from their perfect world to one of terror.
Entry Summary:
The goal of the film was to make the harsh reality and issues concerning wildlife conservation tangible and relatable to a wider audience past those already involved in conversation efforts. It was released online and played prior to features at the Wildlife Conservation Film Festival.Each animal is sung by a different vocal artist to humanize the challenges they face. Though the effects on the animals vary greatly from poaching to accidental oil spills, the destruction and demise of the voices is all brought about by human actions.
