Blackfish
If you are a fan of zoos, aquariums and circuses, but at the same time a lover of animals, we recommend you watch this amazing documentary. It is a film of denunciation and exposure against the great American corporation of SeaWorld water parks. Blackfish speaks the truth about captive animals, in this case killer whales, and their sad and precarious situation as tourist attractions, where they live in constant isolation and psychological abuse.

La Marche de l'empereur - The March of the Penguins
Penguins are very brave animals and with impressive courage, they would do anything for their family. They are an example to follow in terms of relationships. In this documentary the species of emperor penguins make an annual trip during the cruel Antarctic winter, in the harshest conditions, with the sole intention of surviving, bringing food and protect their young. The female goes out to look for food while the male stays looking after the young. Quite a team effort! It is a spectacular and sobering nature documentary narrated by the magical voice of actor Morgan Freeman. Due to the climatic conditions, the film took a year to shoot. The result is simply inspiring.

In addition to the dolphins as protagonists of this documentary, we have Ric O`Barry, a former captive dolphin trainer, who opens his eyes and transforms his way of thinking and feeling about animal life, and becomes an activist for the rights of marine animals.
Grizzly Man - The Bear Man
This non-fiction film is one of the most interesting and devastating nature documentaries we have come across so far. The Bear Man, with his name already says it all: the man who lived with bears for 13 summers in the inhospitable territory of Alaska and who unfortunately ended up killed and eaten by one in 2003. Timothy Treadwell was an eccentric environmentalist and bear fanatic who seemed to lose connection with the human world and found he wanted to experience life as a wild creature. The truth is that this documentary goes much further and becomes an artistic expression. More than a hundred hours of videos were expected to become the longest and most detailed documentary on bears. This was just the summary.
