Physty was a young sperm whale who fell ill and beached himself on the shores of Long Island, NY. A group of veterinarians worked tirelessly to return Physty back to health. Gaelin Rosenwaks, then a toddler, visited this whale daily with her mother and brother. She loved the whale and seeing it sparked a curiosity about the underwater world that propelled her into a career of marine science, ocean exploration and conservation. Like Gaelin, young sperm whales are nurtured by their mothers creating a lifelong bond. In “Finding Physty,” Gaelin takes you on a journey to reconnect with these fabled giants, and reveal the incredible matrilineal bond between whales. As her mom inspired her as a child, Gaelin brings her mother to the waters of Dominica to introduce her to the underwater world of sperm whales.
