Blakfish-Official trailer (2:23)
https://www.facebook.com/BlackfishFilm - Many of us have experienced the
excitement and awe of watching 8,000 pound orcas, or "killer whales," soar
out of the water and fly through the air at sea parks, as if in perfect
harmony with their trainers. Yet this mighty black and white mammal has many
sides -- a majestic, friendly giant, seemingly eager to take trainers for a
ride around the pool, yet shockingly -- and unpredictably -- able to turn on
them at a moment's notice. BLACKFISH unravels the complexities of this
dichotomy, employing the story of notorious performing whale Tilikum, who --
unlike any orca in the wild -- has taken the lives of several people while
in captivity. So what went wrong?
Shocking footage and riveting interviews with trainers and experts manifest
the orca's extraordinary nature, the species' cruel treatment in captivity
over the last four decades and the growing disillusionment of workers who
were misled and endangered by the highly profitable sea-park industry. This
emotionally wrenching, tautly structured story challenges us to consider our
relationship to nature and reveals how little we humans truly know about
these highly intelligent, and surprisingly sentient, fellow mammals that we
only think we can control.
When you look into their eyes, somebody's home. Somebody's looking back at
you. . . but it may not be what you think.
