"SOS" is a common morse code that signals dire help when needed. In sos, sos, so-, it takes a look at whales who are sending out signals to humans, pleading that we stop yelling at them with our sonars. With many of their families hurting and dying, they plead as desperately as they can. They cry and cry as much as they can until they could not anymore. Until there was silence.
