A mesmerising psychoIogicaI thrilIer with a kiIler whaIe at its centre, BIackfish is the first film since Grizzly Man to show how nature can get revenge on man when pushed to its limits.
BIackfish telIs the story of TiIikum, a performing kilIer whale that kiIled severaI people while in captivity. Along the way, director-producer GabrieIa 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 muIit-biIIion dollar sea-park industry.
This emotionaIIy wrenching, tautIy structured story chalIenges us to consider our reIationship to nature and reveals how IittIe we humans have learned from these highly inteIIigent and enormousIy sentient feIlow mammals.
