Director Gabriela Cowperthwaite investigates the story of a trainer who was dragged to her death during a show at SeaWorld. Along the way she discovers a shocking and further-reaching situation connected to a billion-dollar industry. Tilikum, a killer whale linked to three trainer deaths, is the backbone of the story presented. However, Cowperthwaite finds multiple cases of orca attacks on trainers in parks around the world. Blackfish powerfully explores the complex relationship we have with entertainment and nature, and the repercussions of keeping these sensitive and intelligent creatures in captivity.
