Documentary83 min
After a SeaWorld trainer is killed, this documentary traces the history of Tilikum, the orca linked to three human deaths, and the system that kept him performing in captivity. John Hargrove and Samantha Berg are among the trainers and eyewitnesses who describe daily life around the tanks, while marine specialists and archival footage fill in how these whales were captured, handled, and presented to the public. The focus stays on the risks for both humans and animals as the film connects one high-profile incident to a larger account of captive orcas.
