Blackfish
Never capture what you can't control.
Directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite
Produced by Manny O Productions
A dark, intellectually rigorous documentary that builds mounting dread around the psychological toll of captivity on an intelligent creature and the human cost of prioritizing profit over animal welfare.
Notorious killer whale Tilikum is responsible for the deaths of three individuals, including a top killer whale trainer. Blackfish shows the sometimes devastating consequences of keeping such intelligent and sentient creatures in captivity.
