As the two groups clashed together, Okori rushed between the carriage’s windows. She needed an escape route.

Introduction Ever since 1961, humans have been removing orcas out of their natural habitats to go to places such as Sea World, where they are forced to perform tricks for people who pay to watch (Blackfish).
