What Blackfish is all about:
Blackfish tells the tragic story of a SeaWorld trainer killed by a 12,000-pound orca in 2010. Watch an encore presentation of Blackfish on Saturday, December 20, 2014, at 7 p.m. ET.
Blackfish traces a 39-year history of killer whales in captivity leading up to the 2010 killing of Sea World trainer Dawn Brancheau by the 12,000-pound orca, Tilikum, a whale previously associated with the death of two other people. Blackfish chillingly shows that this incident of violence is hardly an isolated one, along the way exploring the extraordinary nature of orcas, thought to be one of the most intelligent species in the animal kingdom.

If you can't watch it tonight, record it for later. It is an awesome documentary. Not to be missed. You'll see why the tide has turned against the keeping of marine mammals in captivity and Seaworld's
Marine Park's profits continue to tank.

So bummed...I recorded it (or so I thought) since my DISH receiver crapped out on me with all the programs I'd previously recorded about a month ago so was looking forward to having Blackfish back on my dvr list and unfortunately it was preempted due to the breaking news of the 2 officers killed in their car. Not that I don't feel badly for the officers and their families who lost their lives but to me Blackfish is an important documentary that I want to keep in my viewing library.
