Blackfish is a 2013 documentary directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite, examining the history of Tilikum, a captive orca held at SeaWorld who was involved in the deaths of three people, and using his case to raise broader questions about keeping killer whales in captivity for entertainment. The film draws on interviews with former SeaWorld trainers, marine biologists and archival footage of orca attacks. Blackfish is credited by many observers with contributing to significant public and financial backlash against SeaWorld, including changes to its orca breeding and display programs, and it is widely regarded as a landmark of animal-welfare investigative documentary filmmaking.
