Perfect for teens and over.
This is the greatest series I've ever seen. Why? Because it shows real passion to protect and defend whales, that no other group is willing to do. After 20 years of the monotorioum on commercial whaling, Japan still freely kills 1000 whales every year, and no posturing and petitions will ever stop whaling. If stink bombs need to be thrown so be it! In Africa, poachers are killed on site...the japanese are lucky in this regard. There is some blood when whales get killed, but it is nessessary to see it otherwise people wont realise how much pain these beautiful creatures go through.

GREAT!!!!!
I have got to say, it's great because it's about people trying to save endagered whales. But it might not be suitable for children because of some of the violence, like dead whales they find or something. But other than that, I'd say about 9+.

Needs Parental Guidance & Internet research
This program confused my kids, It gave them the impression that vigilante action is an OK form of protest. I had to explain to them that if they tried any of the methods shown on TV (ie: trespassing., broken bottles of stink juice and slicking agent) on land they would go to jail. We then researched the SSCS and found out that the SS ships have been deflagged many times due to their violent actions and they are unwelcome in more than one country. Also, the Japanese have issued arrest warrants for some of the crew. *://*newyorker*/reporting/2007/11/05/071105fa_fact_khatchadourian *://*ens-newswire*/ens/aug2008/2008-08-20-01.asp
