"Ten years in the making, this full-length 'eco-feature' documentary is an experiential film for our times. It is a story of Dreaming and interwoven Dreams… taking us on a deep global journey into a forgotten magic that connects us all.

The wisdom of Indigenous Elders from around the world permeate the film, offering up the all too familiar warnings of where humanity seems to be going… but it also reflects back to us that we collectively can also come back from the edge of extinction… it is not too late. People around the world are waking up.

For the first time on film Aboriginal Whale Calling ceremonies are shared.

WhaleDreamers is an invitation for us all to come back to the Fire... the Dreaming... and the Natural World.

SALTWATER- Power In Unity
In a conjunction of common conscience Greenpeace International, Julian Lennon and the makers of The Gathering have joined forces to raise awareness for the plight of the whales and the Earth's oceans at large.

Julian has recorded a new version of his international hit 'Saltwater' especially for the WhaleDreamers film & soundtrack. The music-video for the new 'Saltwater' features footage from WhaleDreamers & Greenpeace's International archives to help raise awareness for this cause.

In an amazing act of philanthropy Julian has pledged 100% of all proceeds from 'Saltwater' directly to Greenpeace's ocean initiatives.
