"A harrowing but important watch, Blackfish highlights both the plight of Orcas in captivity as well as the more insidious work ethics of Seaworld-like marine parks that put profit over the safety of their own workers.
Told mainly through interviews with ex animal trainers, we learn the opinions of those that actually experienced years of working with the creatures and contemplate how little we truly know about these intelligent creatures and the morals behind locking them in pool for entertainment.
There is also a focus on the spin of the propaganda machine when it comes to injuries and deaths that these marine parks churn out, trying to pin blame on experienced trainers rather than the complex nature of such an imposing and obviously frustrated creature.
By the end we're left in somber reflection if such places should still be allowed to exist today"
