"LOLITA has opened our eyes..."
-Giulio Scalinger - Festival Director, Arizona Film Festival
Having watched Lolita - Slave to Entertainment, I can honestly say that this documentary has an outstanding value as a tool to educate the public to the controversial aspects of dolphin captivity that the billion-dollar dolphin captivity industry has tried to conceal for decades. I will recommend the documentary to anyone who is seeking a better understanding of the plight of captive dolphins and other whales worldwide.
