Gabriela Cowperthwaite’s unforgettable documentary BLACKFISH comes to DVD on the 26th August, with 20 minutes of additional features, including an insightful Q&A from Sheffield Doc/Fest. Premiering to wide audience acclaim at the 2013 Sundance Film festival, BLACKFISH tells the story of Tilikum, a notoriously aggressive orca that killed three people while in captivity.
Laying out evidence like a courtroom drama, director Gabriela Cowperthwaite uses shocking footage and emotional interviews to present a convincing and emotive case against keeping these highly intelligent and evolved wild animals in captivity for human entertainment.
