Dolphins : Close Encounters

About

* An underwater microphone records the complex array of dolphin vocalizations

* Studies by Ken Norris - the "dean of dolphin researchers" - showing how dolphins live and rely on their advanced acoustic skills

* A psychologist's experiments that prove dolphins understand the elements of human language

* The reactions of dolphins when seeing themselves in mirrors

* Dolphins using a keyboard with visual symbols

It raises the issues of dolphins in captivity. Filmed around the world, it features interviews with Brad Andrews of Sea World and Ric O'Barry, the trainer of Flipper.
