KILLER WHALE ADVOCACY — SHORT DOCUMENTARY

Subject: London Fletcher

Goal

Tell the story of a young advocate fighting to be taken seriously. At just 12 years old, London Fletcher set out to protect killer whales — navigating skepticism, power imbalances, and institutions far larger than herself.

Approach

This film was built as a character-driven documentary, framing London’s journey as a modern David vs. Goliath story. By centering her voice, research, and conviction, the film challenges assumptions about age, authority, and who is “qualified” to speak on environmental issues. The storytelling prioritizes clarity, respect, and emotional truth — allowing the audience to see both the strength of her argument and the courage behind it.

Deliverable

A short-form documentary designed for advocacy, education, and community sharing.

Outcome

A powerful, human-centered film that reframes expertise and amplifies a young voice — inspiring conversation, credibility, and greater awareness around killer whale protection.
