The Voyage Of 'Rainbow Warrior'

When the converted Greenpeace trawler sailed out into the North Sea in June this year bound for Iceland, the eyes of all who cared for the preservation of the whale Were on her. For the purpose of this voyage was to touch the conscience of the world and its whaling nations on the eve of the annual conference of the International Whaling Commission.

This film is a record of the clashes On Iceland, as Rainbow Warrior tried in vain to stop the carnage - falling foul of Icelandic gun-boats and Icelandic law courts. But the voyage seemed to have worked. After years of siding with the whalers, Iceland's crucial vote helped tilt the balance at the rwc. A ban on whaling for most species for an indefinite period was agreed. But was this a success? A closer look at the small print of the agreement shows that Iceland can continue her killing operation.
