FISHER STEVENS:
Hello, everybody. I just want to say it was an honor to work on this film, and to try to make an entertaining film that also tries to enlighten everybody. I have to thank Jim Clark, who financed the film and was also kind of the guiding wisdom behind the film. Paula DuPré Pesmen, my producing partner. And my hero, Ric O'Barry, who is not only a hero to this species, but to all species. And the man who came up with the idea, Louie Psihoyos.

LOUIE PSIHOYOS:
Thank you...
