Big Miracle

In October 1988, three California gray whales are found trapped under the ice of the Arctic Circle. The subsequent rescue attempt becomes a huge global event, as scores of journalists converge on the nearby Eskimo town of Barrow, Alaska, and the U.S. and Soviet government enjoy a rare moment of collaboration. The two-week drama plays out at a time of geopolitical change, with Mikhail Gorbachev in the midst of his glasnost initiative and Ronald Reagan preparing to leave office after his second term. During all of this a nonprofit aid worker and a government worker fall in love.
