Fishbowl

About This Movie

Fishbowl is a student-produced doc that dives deep into the plight of orcas in captivity. Jip Koster and Lara Lustemberg guide us through a maze of ethical dilemmas and ecological concerns, really peeling back layers of what it means to keep such intelligent creatures confined. The tone is pretty earnest, but there's a rawness to it that feels genuine, like you're in the trenches with them. The interviews, rich with emotion and insight, add to the film's weight, but it’s the pacing that feels a bit uneven at times, reflecting the chaotic nature of the subject matter. It’s distinct in how it blends personal narrative with broader advocacy, giving viewers a multi-dimensional understanding of these magnificent animals.
