A free showing of the documentary A Day in the Life of Lolita, the Performing Orca will be presented at the Admiral Theater Thursday, Dec. 5 at 7pm. Admission is free and there will be free desserts.

This award-winning documentary has been shown at film festivals and in theaters across the country and beyond, and features interviews with Orca Network's Howard Garrett, talking about the traumatic 1970s orca captures and the orcas' astounding natural history, languages and family bonds.

Since mid-July the SeaWorld stock price has dropped about 25%, reflecting dropping attendance. This film is exposing the severe stresses captive orcas endure, resulting in public awareness that is devastating the $2 Billion industry.

The film also significantly advances the prospects of Lolita - the L pod orca captured in Penn Cove in 1970 - returning to Washington to retire in her home waters.
