Did one man’s friendship with a dolphin go way – way – too far? It’s 1987 and the British seaside town of Amble has seen much better days. So when a wild bottlenose dolphin nicknamed Freddie appears in the harbour, it feels like a miracle. Everyone wants to swim with him. But Freddie chooses one person above all others: Alan Cooper, a dedicated animal rights activist committed to freeing captive dolphins. Then Alan’s friendship with Freddie is turned against him and a devastating accusation spirals out of control.

Great story well told
What a GREAT story. If I had read the story rather than hearing it on a podcast I’m not sure I’d have enjoyed it nearly as much. The voice actors were incredible, the background noises, the narrator - everything made it seem real life.
Too many episodes
Story was a bit interesting but the producers believe in telling you what happen then letting the participants tell you what happened then they tell you again. The ending was very obvious 1 or 2 episodes would have been fine
