Movie Night: Patrick and the Whale

MIT Welcome Center

Due to the chilly weather in the forecast for Friday night, we’re going to shift the film screening indoors, to the MIT Welcome Center (292 Main St).🐋 We are delighted to show the documentary film Patrick and the Whale – an inspiring and engaging tale of Patrick Dykstra and a sperm whale “Dolores.” This outdoor event is free and open to all.For years, Patrick Dykstra has dedicated his life to traveling the globe, following and diving with whales. Over the years, Patrick has learned how whales see and hear, how they perceive other creatures in the water, and how they behave at close quarters. He has a finely tuned sense and knows how to act when within touching distance of a whale. The film follows his personal journey and explores the psychology of a man who has sacrificed everything in his single-minded quest to connect with and understand one of the biggest creatures in the ocean.Registration recommended! You’ll be the first to learn of event details or if the location or date changes due to inclement weather.
