Black Fish follows Tilikum a whale that was responsible for the death of three trainers. Personally, I was really interested in this film as I remember in 6th grade when the reports were coming in about the trainer who got drowned by the whale. I remember most vividly they said it wasn't because the whale was aggressive but rather that the whale trainer had her hair in a ponytail which reminded the whale of a play toy.
This documentary shows me how stupid that sounds. Sea World doesn't treat their whales humanly and it really showed when they tracked the whale and showed him cramped in a pool the size of a swimming pool. Whales should be treated like they do in the wild not on restricted diets or forced into inhumane habitats.
