自上世纪六十年代来以来，人们对俗称为“杀人鲸”的虎鲸的了解逐渐增加，尤其是对其杰出的沟通能力的了解。人们曾经惧怕它们，称它们为“深海杀手”，但现在视它们为与人类一样有智慧、有情感、社会化的物种。《倾听虎鲸》一片探索了引发这些观念转变的突破性的研究，记录了一群杰出的科学家和他们对此的贡献，他们大多居住和工作在加拿大西海岸，将太平洋虎鲸作为他们一生的工作。

Since the 1960's, our knowledge of orcas (also known as killer whales) and in particular their extraordinary powers of communication has steadily evolved. This species, once feared as "killers of the deep"are now seen as intelligent, emotional, and social in way that are remarkably like humans. Listening to Orcas explores the ground-breaking research that lies behind these shifts in perception, and documents the keyroles and contributions of a remarkable group of scientists, most of whom live and work on Canada's West Coast, and who have made the Pacific orca the focus of their life's work.

Battling the ever-increasing threats of pollution, diminished fish stocks, and shipping and tourist traffic, the West Coastorcas face an uncertain future. Will growing public interestand awareness of their extraordinary capabilities help them survive?
