Great documentary. I had known about Orca attacks in captivity before watching it, but this film really drove home the point. Free Willy!

The dark side of Free Willy. Lately (mid-2023), there have been Orca attacks on boats in the Med. My theory is this: The Orcas are highly intelligent and have a fantastic communication system. The few who eventually were freed from SeaWorld got the word out to all the other Orcas in the world: "Humans are fucking assholes! Kill the humans!"
