Access Green: ‘Whale Wars’ Helps Save The Planet Through Reality TV

In the sea of the often unnecessary drivel that is reality television, there are few islands of hope that actually have an important impact on people’s lives. “Whale Wars” is one of those rare shows that dares to use its platform for a purpose, exposing the cruelties of whaling to encourage protection of these beautiful animals and their marine environment. Starting its third season on June 4 on Animal Planet, this exciting docu-series follows the esteemed Captain Paul Watson and his Sea Shepherd Conservation Society crew as they take to the high seas in a brave attempt to stop Japanese ships from hunting whales in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary.

Access had the chance to sit down with the Captain recently at the NBC studios in Burbank to talk about what to expect from the upcoming season.
