I'm not sure I would call this a documentary, that suggests it is narrative and doesn't hold high opinion. I feel this is very biased and that the director/creator exploited Dawn the trainer's death for her own fame and fortune.

You should read some of the interviews by trainers who were in the film and are very unhappy how Blackfish was portrayed in the end when they were told otherwise. Do all your research before you jump on the bandwagon.

Yes captivity for a creature sucks, but Seaworld provides the utmost top notch care and it would be ultimately stupid to release these whales back into the wild... they would for sure die. You should also look into why some of the trainers are former trainers.

.. I would have liked to see a film from all sides not just one.
