My Utopia #34: Paul Watson

We spoke with Paul Watson, founder of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, at Cannes film festival.

About being labeled a terrorist, his encounter with a dying whale, the question if mankind will survive – and his personal utopia.

Thanks to Paul Watson, 3.14 Hotel, Cannes, G.A.N.G & everybody who helped making this possible.
