I recently went to Tampa Theatre to see the documentary, Blackfish. The film is about orca whales in captivity. More specifically, Tilikum, the whale who has killed three people including Dawn Brancheau at Seaworld in 2010. There are interviews with several former trainers, former whale trappers, and others highlighting why the practice of using killer whales for entertainment should not continue.
I love these types of documentaries. The Cove and An Apology to Elephants are a few other good ones. Blackfish is playing at Tampa Theatre through Thursday. Check out the trailer below and also an article I recently wrote about the film http://eckerd.uloop.com/news/view.php/96533/documentaries-shed-light-on-disturbing-animal-entertainment-industry.
