I hadn't heard much about Blackfish before I managed to catch a screening of it. I will certainly never forget watching it though.
Blackfish is an utterly terrifying look at the practices of the Seaworld corporation through the eyes of it's former employees. It is at times deeply moving, shocking and altogether unpleasant. I certainly did not know a lot of issues that were raised in the film.
It's not a perfect documentary in terms of equal representation for either side. In fact the film does little to represent the good that is spread by Seaworld and it's associated resorts, however if even one tenth of the facts proposed in this film are true, it stands on it's own two feet as a bare exposure of the malpractice of Seaworld.
Do not watch if you're easily upset or generally if you ever want to visit Seaworld again. It's a bit of a life changer in respect to the later.
