Notes et avis

A true telling documentary about a performing Killer Orca Whale that has killed 7 Sea World Orca Trainers.Sea World a greedy theme family park that does not care for the welfare of the whale or its trainers and also the inhumane things that Tilkum the whale ha s to go thru.Such a great Documentory,you have to watch and while you are at it,how about signing the petition at Change Org to set Tilkum free.

While it does not break new ground, this docu-movie serves its purpose - to raise awareness and provide the grounds for debate on the morals and ethics of keeping large marine mammals like orca for display in theme park shows, their correct housing and psychological needs. Nicely scripted and put together, it links events that together prove a bigger picture of the elements at play starting with the voice logs to emergency services relaying information tragic death of a Sea World trainer.

This doco really opens your eyes, giving you a sence of the complete sadness, the high emotions of a killer whale and how they should not be kept captive just as a money making show pony.
