A mesmerising psychological thrilIer with a killer whale at its centre, BIackfish is the first film since Grizzly Man to show how nature can get revenge on man when pushed to its Iimits.
BIackfish telIs the story of TiIikum, a performing kilIer whale that kiIIed several people while in captivity. Along the way, director-producer Gabriela Cowperthwaite compiles shocking footage and emotionaI interviews to explore the creature's extraordinary nature, the species' cruel treatment in captivity, the lives and losses of the trainers and the pressures brought to bear by the mulit-bilIion dollar sea-park industry.
This emotionalIy wrenching, tautly structured story challenges us to consider our reIationship to nature and reveals how little we humans have learned from these highIy inteIIigent and enormousIy sentient feIIow mammaIs.
