NAL Final Reminder Blackfish,
From NAL publisher Doug Draper
This Friday evening at 7 p.m., you have the opportunity to view an exclusive screening of Blackfish – a crtically acclaimed, Oscar contender of a film that dramatizes the plight of whales being exploited for peoples’ entertainment at amusement parks – at Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School on 101 Glen Morris Drive, below the Niagara Escarpment and off Glenridge Avenue in St. Catharines, Ontario.
An Orca – a species of whale dubbed so wrongly and unfortunately as “killer whales” – does what it was trained to do at an amusement park somewhere in North America.
And by buying a ticket to attend this special event, which will include expert speakers on marine mammals, you will be supporting four advocates for the freedom of marine mammals, including three former employees from the Marineland Park in Niagara Falls, Ontario, who have been slapped with million dollar lawsuits for speaking out about the park in ways the park’s owners and operators allege were damaging to its interests.
You can purchase tickets to this event for $15 at the door or for $10 in advance at the Rise Above Restaurant on 120 St. Paul Street in downtown St. Catharines.
You can also find out more about the film, the purpose for this event and click on a link for a trailer for Blackfish by visiting a story NAL posted here about a week ago.
