Animal Planet’s “Whale Wars” may be drawing to an end soon, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get your fix of Captain Paul Watson and his whale saving work.
The new documentary “At the Edge of the World” chronicles the 2006-2007 campaign by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society to prevent the annual harvest of whales in the waters near Antarctica.
