Review of Dolphin Boy (2011) by Z L — 10 Apr 2013
Is this movie propaganda? For Dolphin therapy? For the Israeli care system? For the benefits of being a "good" Arab in Israel?
The situation shown in this movie is like a US movie about a latino young adult, deeply traumatized by other young latinos, and treated by an all white/anglo medical and dolphin therapy team. He forgets everything about his latino identity, family and history, finding comfort and happiness in an all anglo culture. The father of the proganist abandons the rest of the family 350 miles away to spend a year at the beach, by the dolphin center, with his son. By the way, the father likes to wear stylish cowboy gear and dance around the fire with his friends. Almost no Spanish is spoken. Is this right?
