Next month, on December 12, 2025, cinemas nationwide will host the release of Chinese White Dolphin, the world's first feature-length documentary dedicated to this vulnerable marine species. Often called the "Panda of the Sea," the Chinese white dolphin has become a powerful symbol of conservation across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
Directed by Yan Dong and co-produced by China Media Group, Guangdong Radio and Television, and Zhuhai Media Group Co., Ltd., the film weaves together stunning underwater footage, expert interviews, and local stories. Viewers will follow researchers monitoring dolphin populations, activists campaigning for cleaner waters, and communities whose livelihoods connect to the bay's ecosystem.
The timing of the release celebrates the spirit of the upcoming 15th National Games, set to kick off across the Greater Bay Area. The dolphin itself inspired the Games' mascot, highlighting the intersection of cultural pride and environmental stewardship. Audiences can expect a narrative that showcases nature's beauty and raises questions about sustainable development in one of the world's fastest-growing urban regions.
For business and tech enthusiasts, the documentary sheds light on how innovation, from advanced tracking technologies to community-driven conservation apps, is shaping the future of marine protection. Young global citizens and travelers will find inspiration in stories of collaboration between scientists, local governments, and grassroots organizations aiming to secure a safe passage for the "Panda of the Sea."
As the countdown to December 12 begins, Chinese White Dolphin invites viewers to dive into a story that bridges environmental action, cultural heritage, and the collective energy of a region preparing to host a major national event.
