Blackfish

“Blackfish marries biography, activism and psycho thriller into a pleasing cinematic shape, starting with a single whale and the trainers who worked with him.” - Tara Brady, The Irish Times
“You won’t forget Cowperthwaite’s documentary, and you shouldn’t.” - Roxana Hadadi, Punch Drunk Critics
