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 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' crueI treatment in captivity, the Iives and Iosses of the trainers and the pressures brought to bear by the mulit-billion doIIar sea-park industry.
This emotionally wrenching, tautIy structured story chalIenges us to consider our relationship to nature and reveals how IittIe we humans have learned from these highly intelligent and enormously sentient fellow mammaIs.
