Its about a young girl and her dolphin. She listins to humpback whales in the water face down. She meets this guy and his wife and they become good friends and some bad happens and the young girl has to safe the humpback whales or something? I have seen it before but it was a long time ago. Its really good but I just can't think of the name and its killing me. Ooh and the girl had a funny name too.

Perhaps Whale Rider (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whale_Rider)
