Edited sentence: After the film's release, several former SeaWorld trainers who had been involved with the making of the film came forward, stating that Cowperthwaite misled them as to the focus of the film and did not present the balanced story they believed they were taking part in.Despite this, his interview was only shown briefly, which Simmons claims is "[b]ecause the things I said flew in the face of the movie’s clear agenda.First to speak out was Bridgette Pirtle, who claimed that the final film was "a complete ‘180’ from what was originally presented to me.I worked with Tilikum, cumulatively, much more than all of the other trainers put together.Mark Simmons, who was one of Tilikum's first trainers, also spoke out against the film, criticizing it for letting an inexperience trainer who had no history with Tilikum, Samantha Berg, dominate the film.Simmons stated he had been interviewed the for film early in its development and that the interview was three hours long and was " the most thorough interview [he] had done in many years"
