It’s sad but true, one of Hollywood’s most attractive unions is also quite a short-lived one as Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson, the closest we may ever get to two superheroes getting married in real life, are kaput.

Saving Luna is a story that one might expect from Walt Disney Pictures. Yet it perhaps owes more to the film Born Free, for it tells the true story of Luna, a baby killer whale who was separated from his family in 2001 in the coastal waters of British Columbia. Lonely and in need of companionship, he sought out humans for friendship. Yet unlike Born Free — which was a dramatized account of an actual event — Saving Luna is a documentary that chronicles the life, and ultimately tragic death, of this extraordinary little orca.
