Animal photographer Michael Fishbach comes across a humpback whale in the Sea of Cortez and frees it from a fishing net. Wait for the ending, it’s stunning.

Three notable things about this video:

  1. Fishbach tells the story like an old man in a rocking chair would tell his grandchildren: slow pace, deep voice, well-placed words. Yet there is video making the story a lot more powerful than just words. In a world where cameras are ubiquitous, this might be how we tell stories to our children and grandchildren.
  2. The graphic design (titles etc.) is awful, but it simply doesn’t matter. Because the story is great.
  3. As one Youtube commenter notes: Cool speedo.
