Logline: From a young age, John Hargrove wanted nothing more than to erase the memory of his broken childhood and become a killer whale trainer at SeaWorld. This is the emotional true story of how SeaWorld’s prodigal son became the primary whistle-blower against the only organization he ever dreamed of working for.
The memoir chronicles John Hargrove’s experiences as an orca whale trainer at SeaWorld, including his fallout with the theme park and his mission to free the animals from captivity after two fellow trainers were killed.
Former SeaWorld trainer John Hargrove’s memoir Beneath the Surface has been optioned by Rachel K. Stotts and Michael K. Snyder of Crash Films, with an eye to adapt the book into a feature.
