In the Whale - Film Screening and Q&A
IN THE WHALE is arguably the greatest fish story ever told, though this one is true. It’s the account of a man who survived to tell the tale of being swallowed by a whale, and what happened after he escaped. You can see the trailer and more about the film here: www.inthewhalefilm.com
