The Aquarium

"The normal lifespan of a beluga whale in the wild is is between twenty-five and thirty years while in captivity it is a mere seven."

Filmed primarily in Alaska, The Aquarium contrasts the openness of the primeval Arctic landscape with the entrapment of captured sea mammals in aquariums. It speaks of the progressive destruction of these animals’ habitat, seeing beyond the alluring spectacle.
