Keiko
The Untold Story
Everyone hoped that Keiko would find his family and live happily ever after. When that didn’t happen, the media walked away and called the effort a failure.
This is the amazing story of what actually happened with Keiko. The film takes the viewer on Keiko’s journey, explores his strong will to survive, and enjoys his enormous embrace of his own freedom.
Through first hand accounts by those who were there every day, the film follows Keiko, his life, his legacy, and the untold story of his extraordinary years of ‘freedom’ in Iceland and Norway where he thrived before his death in 2003.
Joshua Records, LLC is in production of a full length documentary film about Keiko’s life and legacy, utilizing music written by Theresa Demarest, Tim Ellis, & Jean-Pierre Garau.
