All along the Arctic coast of Norway, there's a bloody battle going on between three different species: orcas, whales…and humans! And it is happening all over the vast schools of herring that migrate to the Frozen North to seek shelter there in the fjords.! 

Follow Didier Noirot, one of the world's greatest underwater cameramen, as he tracks down the giants of the deep - using 8K underwater cameras and drones - and dives right into the heart of the hunt. Orcas – or "killer whales" – have developed what is called the "carousel" technique for catching herring: they surround them with bubbles then drive them up to the surface. But now the other whales are no longer scared of joining in to claim their share of the booty. Then there are the humans, with their huge nets: they too are after the same prize. Who is going to win the Herring War?
