🎥 About the Project

As of 2025 there are still over 50 Orcas left in captivity worldwide. 

Annually, millions of tourists visit The US, Tenerife, China, Argentina and more seeking authentic Orca experiences. However, behind closed doors seemingly lies a concerning reality.

It has been known that some orcas who do not perform well are left alone and some even starved. In Mundo Marino, where Kshamenk the Orca is kept, the tank is about 5-10ft longer than Kshamenk who is about 20ft. 

I'm Anthony Hersey, and I'm on a mission. This investigative documentary will provide unprecedented access to the industry, featuring testimonials from former handlers, expert conservationists, and animal welfare advocates to present a comprehensive analysis of current practices.

Our objective is to inform people about the loneliest Orca Kshamenk, increase industry transparency, and advocate for him and many more orcas to be rehabilitated back to the ocean. To accomplish this, we require financial assistance.
