The Whale Shark is in danger

An extraordinary event takes place each year in January, on the extreme east coast of the Horn of Africa, in the bay of Arta: the incredible and unexplained gathering of whale sharks, the biggest fish in the world.

Intrigued by the phenomenon, more and more tourists come to Djibouti to swim with the sharks, this poses a threat to the sharks who are often injured by boat propellers.

Thankfully veterinary Doctor Betrand Lafrance, nicknamed Doctor Courage, who, since 1995, has been battling for the creation of a Marine Protected Area.

As the film follows his battle, it recounts the environmental, human and scientific stakes that will allow the biggest fish in the world to be saved.
