What are the main arguments found in the film?
Some of the main arguments found in the film is the way Sea World treats their animals. Another would be the disagreements of how the trainers feel about the whales treatment vs the owners of the company. The trainers know and work with the animals everyday growing a bond with them, while the owners are afraid of them and should really be doing their research on the whales to know everything about them. They should know the facts about the whales instead of feeding the trainers false information.

Samantha Berg, a former trainer at Sea World talked about how the company, Sea World, jumped at the opportunity to get Tilikum even though he was know for endangering the trainers and killing. Berg also talked about how the company made it seem like Tilikum had nothing to do with death of trainers. The company had told them things that made the whales look harmless, but in reality they were a danger. Sea World feeds these trainers facts that were not true leading the trainers to believe and say whatever they wanted them to.

The goal of these trainers is to try to make the wales life a little better but its is hard with Sea World having total …show more content…
One of the main ways the film makers received footage for this documentary was from the people who used their own video recorders when capturing the wales in the ocean.

People who worked at Sea World had shared their story by being interviewed and even a couple of visitors who came to the park were interviewed to add to the documentary. Another large way the documenters received footage for this documentary was from the people who had worked at Sea World in the past, they had recoded their work. When things would go wrong it would be on tape and used later on in the documentary. The audience also is a way to get footage, many people in the stands have their video cameras on so if something does go wrong with a whale hurting a trainer they have it to share. Footage from the news was used because it is easily accessed, now that is has been exposed to the public. The filmmakers also showed the commercials that Sea World would present to the public on television. These commercials appeared to me as viewer as a joke, since I had now seen real footage of what is really behind Sea World. The commercials, and the news about a death of a person due to a whale at Sea World is easily found on youtube or the internet to be put into this documentary. The way the
