I watched the two hour doc on Orcas in captivity and I felt it was a good example of what journalism is supposed to be.
There were a few things I noted that might be a bit suspect though.
One neurobiologist gives a short speech about the Orca brain and states that its region that is associated with emotional connections, love, friendship, family, etc. is very large and developed. Not so sure that I can just accept her word on that and the point was never developed any further.
I do wonder about the emotional and psychiatric effect taking a being that lives in large matriarchal family groups that often travel dozens/hundreds of kilometers in straight lines, and capturing them as babies, putting them in small (perhaps a dozens or so times the animal's own length) along with individuals from different pods (sometimes from different oceans).
After watching this I am now interested in also watching their upcoming doc "Killing Kennedy".
