In the Whale is an award-winning documentary that tells the astonishing true story of Cape Cod lobster diver Michael Packard, whose life is defined by risk, resilience, and a deep connection to the sea.
After years of surviving dangerous encounters-from great white sharks to near-fatal accidents-Packard experiences an almost unbelievable event during a routine dive that transforms his life and captivates the world.
The screening is followed by a conversation with director David Abel, a Pulitzer Prize-winning filmmaker, and Boston Globe critic Chris Vognar, offering insight into the story, its making, and its broader cultural significance.
