Black Fish is a documentary on orcas. Mostly about Tilikam but others as well and some of the accents. Interviews from the people who caught the orcas and former SeaWorld trainers speaking out about what they witnessed and experienced. It's amazing to hear their stories. The deception from the company at the expense of the trainers. It's heart breaking to hear what the orcas had to go through.
A couple facts I thought were interesting is that to the date of the film there had NEVER been an attack on humans from wild orcas. I don't think that has changed either. And that in the wild only 1% of orcas have the flopped over dorsal fin. In captivity over 50% largely males have the flopped over dorsal fin. Also 54% of orcas born in captivity are related to Tilikam.
I highly recommend watching it. Anyone who has access to a Netflix should watch it.
