Last week I went to Rialto cinemas (by myself!) to watch the Blackfish documentry. It premiered at the Sundance Film festival, and was brought to NZ as part of the New Zealand Film Festival. It's about orca whales in captivity - specifically Tilikum, a large bull held at Sea World in Florida. The film focuses on the killings of human trainers by whales in captivity, and the controversy (and excuses) surrounding it. It's heartbreaking, yet also acts like a slap around your face, pulls you from the cocoon of your safe little world and reminds you that humanity freakin' sucks! You can't help being mesmerised by this doco, and I can guarantee you'll walk out of the theater with new thoughts and ideas.
Go see it! Now! It's good to fall out of your comfort zone once and a while. Here's the trailer:
