Does Blackfish present a fair and convincing argument?

Does Blackfish present a fair and convincing argument? Using the film and two outside sources, make an argument about the film’s portrayal of Sea World and the treatment of animals. ( 5 pages double spaced)

Notice that “fair” and “convincing” are two separate qualities…

Use evidence from the film BlackFish (The film is on Netflix if you could not find it somewhere else) to show that it is not fair and is biased because there was almost no one defending SeaWorld but also discuss how it is convincing because it uses a lot of pathos and it appeals to people’s feelings. Use evidence from BlackFish and two or three of the sources listed below. Use some sayings from the film as evidence and evidence from the sources to support that. 3 sources, one being blackfish

When we think of going to places where we can have fun or parents can take their children, an aquarium, SeaWorld, or a zoo is always at the top of the list. This especially for young children. It is fascinating getting to see an animal that one has only seen in pictures up-close. Imagine learning that you can travel a few miles to watch a whale or another animal that you consider fierce entertaining and interacting with people.
