The Building of 'CONNY' - Life-Size Sperm Whale Model
In this important and historical work Robbins documents the naming of Connecticut's state animal in 1975- the Sperm whale. Then he goes on to document the building process used to make this one-of-a-kind 60 foot, fero cement, life-size model of an adult sperm whale, teeth, glass eyes, and very much more, what a project; all done with volunteer labor by the Connecticut Cetacean Society. Throughout, Robbins effortlessly ties in the beauty & appreciation for the living whale and need for its protection. Besides being behind the camera & narrating, he was serving as volunteer Executive Director of this whale society. I say a big thank you! for your global efforts to make this a better world.

Marvellous! A very interesting 'how it was done' film documenting the remarkable efforts of a group of whale friendly volunteers from Connecticut, as they construct 'CONNY' a Life-Size Model of a Sperm Whale. I congratulate! You all. As they say down there, in them there parts, WHALES ALIVE FOREVER!!!
