Blackfish 15

One of the biggest documentaries to screen at Phoenix over the past decade. Blackfish is as gripping as any thriller, and showed that films have the power to change the world.

Notorious killer whale Tilikum is responsible for the deaths of three individuals, including a top killer whale trainer. Blackfish shows the sometimes devastating consequences of keeping such intelligent and sentient creatures in captivity.
