Luna, a baby male orca, gets separated from his family on the rugged coast of Vancouver Island. All alone, he tries to make friends with humans. People fall in love with him, but the government tries to keep him and people apart. This becomes hilarious and baffling, because Luna is determined to be friendly. This leads to battles between government and First Nations, and between those who love Luna and those who think he should be killed. Saving Luna explores a great mystery: Who are these lives with whom we share the planet, and what are the connections between us that we do not yet know?
