The 3rd Antarctic Campaign undertaken by the controversial Sea Shepherd Conservation Society was arguably “the perfect combination of imperfections” and the actions taken to stop a Japanese whaling fleet were astonishingly reckless and admirable. The under-trained international volunteer crew developed a combination of bizarre and brilliant tactics to stop the whalers. But first they must find them in the vast expanse of the Ross Sea.  With one ship (The Farley Mowat) too slow to chase down the whaling fleet and their second ship (The Robert Hunter) unsuited for Antarctic ice conditions, the situation becomes increasingly desperate in this real-life David versus Goliath adventure.
