Now, in an ambitious experiment, a dedicated team of scientists, animal behaviorists, trainers, divers and technicians wants to make the fairy-tale screen ending come true. They are working to free Keiko from dependence upon humans and teach him to live again in the wild seas from which he was captured two decades...
