This Provocative and Revealing must-see documentary uniquely addresses man's relationship with wildlife. It speaks not only to animal lovers and activists, but to anyone at all who may have been duped by marine theme park propaganda. In fact, this is the film that an entire industry would rather you not see. And whether you like it or not, Lolita: Slave to Entertainment is assured to ignite conversation -- if not heated debate. "A
stirring wake-up call." When Two Species Collide in the Icy Waters of Puget Sound a Storm of Epic Proportions is Unleashed. Man versus nature; in the summer of 1970 a barbaric hunt kills five orca whales and destroys the lives of countless others. Six young orcas are ripped away from their family, sold to marine parks, and shipped across the world to enter into a life of slavery. Three decades later only one survives. And she just so happens to be Miami’s biggest performer. Lolita:
Slave to Entertainment is a stirring wake up call. For those
who have visited a marine park, for those who think they might
do so in the future, and for those who simply wish to know the
truth about performing marine mammals, this film is a "must
see." ~James Laveck Tribe of Heart (Producer of the award
winning doc. The Witness)
