"In the Heart of the Sea" - the true-life story of the Nantucket whaler Essex - is coming out in theaters Friday. The movie is based on a book of the same name, and chronicles the ship's crew after a whale attack in 1820 - events that inspired Hermann Mellville to write "Moby Dick."
WCAI's Kathryn Eident talked with author and Nantucket resident Nathaniel Philbrick about bringing the story from the page to the big screen.
