BLACKFISH - (Short Documentary Review)

I saw the Blackfish documentary over a month ago and there's a scene from it that will not leave my mind.  In the wild orcas are materiarchal and a calf, even as an adult, is apparently never far from their mother's side.  Sea World capitalized on the first in captivity birth of an orca and within a couple of years permantly seperated mother and child.  The mother's booming screaming reaction will not leave my mind, it will not leave my heart.  

All of this documentary is an example of how badly broken the system is.  It exists as a microcosm of the macrocosm.  

Indigenous peoples had a great reverence for orcas as a spiritual animal and what are we?  We are not cogs or machines.  Are we not an entombment of something greater than our comprehension?  And if a killer whale can be made unnaturally into a serial killer what did The Whiz Kids help spawn in America?  By what confines have we let others define ourselves?  

When is Mother Nature going to stop being used as a sex slave?  When are we going to realize that our water is her scared blood?  The soil, her skin, the rocks her teeth, the mountains her bone?  That all of life is our brethren?  

People look at climate change and imagine it a product of industries and political policies, but what if it is the wailing cry of The Great Mother?  Coming through like the shrieks of a banshee?  What if it is our collective minds and spirit that are out of kilter?  Something a Doplar Radar could never measure?

Most of the animal kingdom is female dominated but the human male has wielded so much authority that to write that is probably a revelation to some, while it has been an inherent truth to others.  

Many societal ills and crimes against nature could have never come about without the siren allure of money.  

A time is coming when we will have to choose between the feminine mourning and the masculine pilfering.  

Trailer posted below; guess the post was less of a review and more of a reflection.  Do not lose hope in the days, months, years ahead, only strive to correct the balance we have upset within ourselves.
