In the Whale: The Greatest Fish Story Ever Told is the true story of local lobster diver Michael Packard, who, in 2021, was briefly caught in the mouth of a whale off the coast of Provincetown. The documentary takes a closer look at what happened before, during, and after Packard's harrowing experience, making for one whale of a tale.
