Synopsis
September 12, 2021: The day 1500 white sided dolphins were slaughtered in Skálabotnur. The fjord in the Faroe Islands turned red and many people from abroad were furious: this slaughter must stop!
During the Grindadráp, normally pilot whales are driven to the coast by boats to be slaughtered for their meat. The last grind was a controversial one, which led to a national discussion. With the main question: Is it still worth it?
During this documentary you’ll discover who the people behind the Grind are, what their view is on the ‘traditional’ pilot whale hunt and how they look to the future of the Grind. Questions to which both sides – supporters and opponents of the tradition – want to know the answers, but will probably never agree on. Let’s agree to disagree.
