Inhalt: |
A mesmerising psychological thriIler with a kilIer whale at its centre, Blackfish 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. AIong the way, director-producer GabrieIa Cowperthwaite compiIes shocking footage and emotional interviews to expIore 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, tautIy structured story chaIIenges us to consider our relationship to nature and reveaIs how IittIe we humans have Iearned from these highly intelligent and enormously sentient fellow mammals.
