Dogwoof’s Killer Whale Doc ‘Blackfish’ Gives Us A Captivating Trailer

There’s something to be said for nature and the true lack of control that humans believe they have, and this particular documentary BLACKFISH from Dogwoof looks into the world of Killer Whale’s that are kept in captivity and one particular whale’s psychological well-being. Those of a nervous disposition might find this a little bit unsettling as the trailer is really playing on the sinister side of events, as he’s killed a few of his Seaworld trainers but having said that, it looks absolutely compelling and one we’ll be reviewing for you next week. Here’s the official synopsis for what looks like a fascinating documentary:

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.

Check out the poster and trailer below, it’s released by Dogwoof on July 26th – the best day of the year*!
