'Blackfish' is a 2013 documentary film directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite , the film exposes the controversial captivity of killer whales and focuses on Sea World in particular and how their exploitation of orcas has lead to the increasing danger of both orcas and humans involved in the corrupt industry that had with held information from the public eye for many years until the release of 'Blackfish'. This documentary effectively exposed Sea World and sparked protest amongst many people eventually leading to Sea World bowing to the criticism and unwillingly closing the park, this being a perfect example of how powerful a documentary can be and the affect it can have on any industry regardless of how much money is involved. Blackfish can be categorised as expository documentary as its only purpose is to inform the audience of a current story that many audience members worldwide will be unaware of due to the story being hidden from the public due to the corruption and illegal activity involved with corporation of 'Sea World'.
