Captive Whale and Dolphin Aquariums documentary, Fall From Freedom
A Fall From Freedom
The Untold Story Behind the Captive Whale and Dolphin Industry
Narrated by Mike Farrell
Made in 2011, EarthViews Productions
A FALL FROM FREEDOM
The first comprehensive film to reveal the long and sordid history of the captive whale and dolphin entertainment business. Many of these marine parks and aquariums are directly or indirectly responsible for the death of thousands of the very animals they use for public entertainment. Premature deaths. Trainer injuries. Illegal practices. Educational misrepresentation. Government incompetence. Secret deals. These and many other issues are presented, and documented for the first time in this powerful documentary, narrated by actor Mike Farrell.
Also in theatres now and on CNN Oct 24, Blackfish, a documentary on the SeaWorld Killer Whale Tilikum and the death of trainer Dawn Brancheau
