Frustratingly, the documentary declines to probe Demers’s evolving relationship to his activism and newfound fame.

While the movie gets a little too lost in Demers’ headspace, his story brings to light the limitations of the “Blackfish” effect, and shows why the war against marine park cruelty has a long way to go.
