Synopsis

Grace has been filming her family since she was a child. Birthdays, Christmases, car journeys, ordinary Tuesday afternoons. Her father Richard was usually somewhere in the frame - elusive, warm, difficult to get close to, and addicted to OxyContin. They had a complicated relationship. Long stretches of not speaking, and tentative attempts to find their way back to each other. Grace often found a way back in with her camera. In 2013 she went home to film Richard and his best friend - his dog, Charlie. She thought she was making a black comedy. She ended up unexpectedly filming a funeral. And then, before she could finish the film she'd started, her father died too. For years the footage sat untouched. Too much to look at and make sense of. DEPENDENCE is what happened when Grace finally went back in. Sifting through 30 years of home movies, she sets out to do something both simple and impossible: to finally understand her father. What she finds is not only a story about addiction, but a portrait of a whole family.

Synopsis

The extraordinary story of Richard “Ric” O’Barry, once the world’s highest-paid dolphin trainer, now their most passionate defender, risking his life and liberty to free these remarkable creatures from captivity. In the 1960s, Ric was America’s leading dolphin trainer at the Miami Seaquarium and the celebrated trainer behind the hit TV series 'Flipper', whose smiling stars enchanted a generation. Everything changed after the apparent suicide of one of the show’s dolphins, Kathie - a moment that shattered his beliefs and set him on a radical path from insider to activist. For over 50 years, Ric has led a global campaign against dolphin captivity. As founder of Dolphin Project, he has risked arrest, injury, and personal loss to rescue dolphins and expose the industry’s darkest secrets. Both celebrated and criticised, he remains steadfast that every captive dolphin can either be retired to a sanctuary or returned to the wild. Told through intimate family access, joyous underwater imagery, and covert filming, Ric’s mission has transformed a non-issue into a global movement. Now 85, he must ask: after a lifetime spent freeing others, can he finally set himself free?
