See ‘Humpback Whales’ at Movies at the Old Prison

By Staff | Feb 24, 2023

LAHAINA — Lahaina Restoration Foundation announced that the movie “Humpback Whales” — which was cancelled last week due to forecasted high winds — has been rescheduled for Saturday, Feb. 25, at 7 p.m. at a new location: the Old Lahaina Prison.

All future free, monthly Movies in the Park, now called Movies at the Old Prison, will be held at the Old Lahaina Prison on the last Saturday of every month.

Narrated by two-time Golden Globe nominee Ewan McGregor, “Humpback Whales” is an extraordinary journey into the mysterious world of one of nature’s most awe-inspiring marine mammals. Set in the spectacular waters of Alaska, Hawaii and the remote islands of Tonga, this ocean adventure offers audiences an up-close look at how these whales communicate, sing, feed, play and take care of their young.

Captured for the first time with IMAX 3D cameras, and found in every ocean on earth, humpbacks were nearly driven to extinction 50 years ago, but today are making a slow but remarkable recovery. Join a team of researchers as they unlock the secrets of the humpback and find out why humpbacks are the most acrobatic of all whales, why they sing their haunting songs, and why these intelligent, 55-foot, 50-ton animals migrate up to 10,000 miles round-trip every year.

Seating is on the lawn. Attendees are encouraged to bring mats, blankets or low-back beach chairs.

Attendees may bring their own drinks and snacks. Please, no alcohol, tobacco products or pets.

February’s free, family-friendly film is presented by Whale Trust, MacGillivray Freeman Films, Lahaina Restoration Foundation and Rotary Club of Lahaina Sunrise.
