The great dolphin release
Freeing Johnny, Rocky and Rambo, the dolphins of the world's last travelling dolphin circus.
Johnny, Rocky and Rambo were performers in the world’s last travelling dolphin circus and inside a Bali hotel swimming pool. This is the story of the fight to shut the circus down and the long journey to try to return the performing dolphins to the ocean.
We hear why the world’s most famous dolphin trainer changed sides - playing a role instead in the fight for their freedom.
It is the story of how Femke Den Haas, the Indonesian campaign director of the Dolphin Project, teamed up with former trainer Ric O'Barry.
