‘The most powerful weapon in the world is a camera,’ says anti-whaling activist Paul Watson

Anti-whaling activist Paul Watson has dedicated his life to sailing into danger to protect marine life. At 73, his decades of activism have brought him into conflict with numerous countries, multiple arrests, and even Interpol red notices – the latest issued by Japan, a nation with a long history of whaling. Watson has made it his mission to expose illegal whaling operations, even when such activities are disguised as scientific research. Watson has just been released after five months of detention in Greenland.
