‘Orca – Black & White Gold’: Terra Mater Studios Brings Killer Whale Doc to Cannes (EXCLUSIVE)
Animal activists are set to descend on the Cannes Film Festival for a screening of ‘Orca – Black & White Gold'
Variety understands part of the reason for screening the film in Cannes is to highlight the plight of three captive orcas at the Marineland animal park in nearby Antibes, which is just a 40 minute drive from the Palais des Festivals. Distributor Terra Mater Studios are working alongside orgs such as The Earth Island Institute – who famously achieved the release of “Free Willy” star Keiko – to transfer imprisoned orca to seaside sanctuaries. We have the moral duty as a society and as a role model for the children visiting these parks, to convey meaningful education and retire these intelligent sentient beings into seaside sanctuaries whenever possible.”
