The Week contest: Defiant dolphin

This week's question: Ukraine has claimed that 10 of its military dolphins stationed in Crimea went on hunger strike after Russia seized control of the peninsula in 2014, and have since starved to death — a charge that Moscow denies. If Hollywood were to make a war movie about these defiant dolphins' act of anti-Russian resistance, what could the film be called?
