I admit an interest; I am the Executive Producer of Whaledreamers and have waited many years to find an outlet for my review.
First and foremost, the film contains so many deceits and lies that the truth is so hidden as to be invisible. I know this as the main instigator, a co-organiser and participant in the
Gathering as well as the many journeys I made to all parts of the world to prepare thios project. You will find my name in small letters and my face occasionally in the film; this has always been contrary to my wishes as I wants nothing to appear: this is due to the hijacking of the story by the Kindersly for his own maniacal purposes (yes, he is maniacal, we shared the same analyst)
This film was always to be about whales, the Mirning, other tribal groups associated with whales and the essence of the Gathering. Instead it is a confused gallimaufrey of the Kindersly's fragile ego and desire to be the next dolphin messiah. The film you see now has been massively diluted of his voice, face and general interference. It has made little difference. The Kindersly has utterly failed to keep his word to anyone, particularly Julian and myself. I know there are others whom he has also ripped-off.
I would like to apologise to all those who may have expected an intelligent and meaningful incursion into a wonderful and magical world with relevance today; instead you have one man's ego wank. I was weak, I admit it; I failed to stop him running off with the whole project into which I invested some £500,000. I dread to think what poor Julian has said goodbye to.
The KIndersly remains wanted in both America and Australia. He is understood to be in hiding in Indonesia in case you also want to have words with him. However, I do know that like a dog, he always returns to his own vomit, so try and catch him in Byron Bay soon. Do not give this man any money, he is a consumate con-man.
There, I've said it. Thannk you for reading. If you want the true story. my email is above.
