When news anchor Paul Linnman arrived in Florence, Oregon, on November 12, 1970, he had no idea that the story he was about to tell would forever define his career. Following a small Oregon town, an exploding whale, and the man who made the story famous, OH WHALE reflects on how we don’t get to choose our fate, only what we make of it.
