The trailer for our upcoming July release Blackfish recently debuted online and has clocked up over 2 million hits on iTunes alone. Watch it again and again below!
Blackfish tells the story of Tilikum, a performing killer whale that killed several people while in captivity. Along the way, director-producer Gabriela Cowperthwaite compiles shocking footage and emotional interviews to explore the creature’s extraordinary nature, the species’ cruel treatment in captivity, the lives and losses of the trainers and the pressures brought to bear by the mulit-billion dollar sea-park industry. This emotionally wrenching, tautly structured story challenges us to consider our relationship to nature and reveals how little we humans have learned from these highly intelligent and enormously sentient fellow mammals.
Blackfish will be in UK cinemas on 26th July. For more information on the film, visit blackfishmovie.com, and you can also follow the film on Facebook and Twitter
