Winner of the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, The Cove follows a high-tech dive team on a mission to discover the truth about the international dolphin capture trade as practiced in Taiji, Japan. Utilizing state-of-the-art techniques, including hidden microphones and cameras in fake rocks, the team uncovers how this small seaside village serves as a horrifying microcosm of massive ecological crimes happening worldwide.
The Cove exposes not only the tragedy of dolphin slaughtering in Japan, but also the dangerously high levels of mercury in dolphin meat and seafood, the cruelty in capturing dolphins for entertainment, and the depletion of our oceans fisheries by worldwide seafood consumption. We also see how the mandate of the International Whaling Commission has been manipulated by the Japanese Fisheries Agency for its benefit and its subsequent effect on the rest of the world.

@shock753 Explain please?
wait the killing the dolphins gasp
omg wwwweeey y???!!!
@mandasity Well, that's probably partly true, but Japan is by far leading on animal cruelty!
You can only really blaim japan for the dolphins and whales. Animal cruelty is worldwide though and happens oh so much right here in the states and I'm not a vegetarian, not even close, but japan is hardly the problem all things considered.
These Japs must be hanged till death!!
@Goldenpearlvoice1 Check out "grindadrap" and watch what these butchers are up to in the faroes islands. Then check out Sea Sheperd site and look at the aftermath of what these butchers do. Its subhuman. Im no Sea Sheperd cause they wouldnt want me since they are gentle and kind and im violent and cruel when it comes to this senseless slaughter of some of Gods beautiful creatures the dolphins and whales. I would love to send these Godless heathens to hell sooner rather than later.
@GODBLESSAMERICA71 hmm.. don't get me wrong I'm also COMPLETE against whale and dolphin hunt and what happens in Taji is just inhuman and sick and insane and.. well I can go on quite some time =P, BUT I do think its wrong to criticise every japanese citizen like that. I mean there's a Japanese girl who works for Sea Shepherd.
plus they do the same in Denmark , somewhere on an Island I think.. not quite sure where
Let's just say: EVERYBODY WHO HUNTS WHALES AND DOLPHINS CAN GO TO HELL!
@nekonohige2 its terrorist and weakness, sorry couldn't resist saying that =P
btw why does everybody forget about Europe?
