DOCUMENTARY FILMS
Blackfish, a documentary released in 2013, tracks the tragic life of Tilikum, a captive killer whale that attacked and killed his trainer. The documentary examines the controversial practice of training orca whales for entertainment venues like SeaWorld (the film’s tagline is “Never capture what you can’t control”). In fact, Blackfish, which first screened at the Sundance Film Festival, sparked anti-SeaWorld protests across the country. © Magnolia Pictures/Everett Collection
