A dramatic account of the lives of killer whales in the wild, and how they have been captured for marine parks.� Killer whales have entertained us with their amusing antics and playful demeanor, charmed us with their built-in smile, and impressed us with their remarkable intelligence.� However, there is a darker side to life in the glass tanks which house these entertainers.�
This film documents the tragic history of the industry where the killer whale, beluga whale and dolphin are torn from their close-knit families in violent and often illegal captures. We witness footage of trainer injuries caused by killer whales driven to violence by the stress of captivity, contrasted with the mesmerizing social interactions and herd camaraderie exhibited by these gentle and peaceful animals in their ocean kingdom.
