‘If you were in a bathtub for 25 years, don’t you think you’ll get a little psychotic?’'Blackfish tells the story of Tilikum, a performing killer whale that killed several people while in captivity. 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.' - Official website http://blackfishmovie.com/aboutWATCH THE TRAILER HERE:http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=w2vG_Ifu4zgThis is an exclusive screening for ONE DAY ONLY.
