New Documentaries: Blackfish The filmmaker began researching the lives of orcas in captivity after the death of Sea World trainer Dawn Brancheau. Her film offers a powerful and provocative look at a remarkable breed of animals that humans still don't fully understand, and how the financial interests of water parks and resorts may run counter to the best interests of the animals they put on display.
