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.

Unlike you, we the Japanese burn the national flag of a foreign country, or have not stepped on it. It is because the pride and custom of a foreign country are respected. You are very impolite and your conceit is strongly self-centered. It seems that you know neither humbleness nor consideration nor shame. A dolphin fishery and whaling are customs of Japan, and are also culture. That's not your job.

Although we the Japanese carry out a counterargument to your blame, we do not blame a foreign country. We keep efforts to understand each other fundamentally in mind. Your blames is very impolite.
