Ten minutes into the movie Blackfish, I was in tears. Knowing full well what the movie was about, I hadn’t expected it to have such an immediate and profound effect. Beginning with questions following the death of veteran Seaworld trainer Dawn Brancheau, Blackfish became much more than a mere inquiry. The … Continue reading
