From the Back Cover
Whales and dolphins have captured the hearts and imagination of people all around the world. They have come to symbolize not only an alien form of intelligence, but s sense of ultimate freedom in their marine environment and comradery among their herdmates that we envy and admire.
A FALL FROM FREEDOM is the first film to expose the long and controversial history of the captive whale and dolphine industry, a history which continues to this day. The illegal capturing of killer whales, the killing of thousands of dolphins to provide these parks with replacement animals, the violent and often fatal captures of these animal from the wild, the ability of these facilities to miseducate the public about whales and dolphins. These and many more issues are covered in graphic detail.
This production was partially funded with grants from Humane Society of the United States, American S.P.C.A., Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society, Whale Rescue Team, and The Summerlee Foundation.
A FALL FROM FREEDOM is brought to you by the producers of The Free Willy Story, Keiko's Journey Home--a Discovery Channel special. |
