The Cove. 2009. USA. Directed by Louie Psihoyos. Each year millions thrill to the astounding feats of dolphins in aquatic parks all over the globe. Many of those dolphins come from Taiji, Japan, a proud, oceanside village that harbors a dark, deeply unsettling secret. On a magnificent, cliff-lined shore is a seemingly tranquil inlet in which many thousands of these extraordinary creatures meet brutal, completely unnecessary ends. Now award-winning National Geographic photographer Louis Psihoyos and an amazing band of professional filmmakers and environmental activists including Richard O'Barry, the man who trained Flipper, go undercover and underwater to reveal the terrible truth of Taiji's dolphin industry. Winner of the Audience Award for documentary at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, The Cove brings the environmental film to astounding new levels of beauty, drama, and urgency. 94 min.

Driven from safety, hunted, tortured, killed, captured, blasted by noise and poisoned by man's carelessness and deliberate cruelty- whales and dolphins face more threats than ever before.

Lets campaign for an end to these threats, including whaling, fisheries bycatch, captivity and environmental impacts such as pollution and climate change.

I have got to see this film. I hate the fact that I will most likely end up crying though, but I already have my own reasons to boycott Japan and this movie will inevitably fuel the fire for me.
