Blackfish: Der Killerwal (2013)
Seit fast 30 Jahren gehört Schwertwal Tilikum, der 1985 im Nordatlantik gefangen wurde, zum Unterhaltungsprogramm verschiedener Freizeitparks. Seit 1991 beherbergt der Meeres-Themenpark SeaWorld den Orca. Seit seiner Gefangennahme ist der "Killer-Wal" für den Tod einiger Trainer verantwortlich. Als Ursache werden die Umstände, unter denen die Wale der Freizeitparks leben müssen, gesehen. Mit Interviews und schockierenden Aufnahmen wird versucht, die unbändige Kraft dieser Tiere einzufangen und zu verdeutlichen, dass der Mensch keine Macht über diese Meeressäuger hat und diese auch durch Gefangennahme nicht erzwingen sollte.
Der Regisseur: Gabriela Cowperthwaite
