I was honored to have worked with Ric O'Barry in the late 1980's making the U.S. people aware of the dolphins being slaughtered by the tuna industry. The tuna industry finally capitulated and you now have the dolphin safe label on tuna cans. Ric is a man who has dedicated his life to saving dolphins and I am happy to call him my friend.

How ironic that Honda sponsored this particular award at Sundance. Maybe THEY should help shake up the government of Japan and stop the killing of dolphins. (And Whales.)

@jeannyy1989 Yeah, right, that's why you have 1989 in your username...

"We love Japan and we love the japanese people"... I felt like pucking when he said that... If he really did, then he would have NEVER done that movie the way he did. That movie gave Japan the worst reputation it could have gotten and he (for whatever reason) completely ignored that Japan is not the only country that hunts dolphin... By far not...

@jeannyy1989 the cove is a disgrace. it fuels discrimination/racism by excluding other countries killing dolphins while focusing on a group of ppl or a country..japan. this could've easily been eliminated by also including other countries killing dolphins in a film about dolphin killing.

y a film on japan dolphins as focus when it's not the only dolphins killed or the only animal worth saving.

it's like making an HIV doc and focus only on african ppl.

the film isn't really about the dolphins. i mean norway, denmark n others ve been hunting dolphins. if it's about dolphins..that would be in the doc about dolphins. they r smart n worth fighting 4 freedom. but more than others animals? is the film about animals? there r monkeys sitting in cages at the zoos. do you know how close they are genetically to human beings?

how about the bears, wolves, deers n other wild lives we hunt. poor bambi?

cruelty is from one being to another...humans included

Fact of the matter is, No animal should be tortured, We amaricans come down hard on people who do abuse animals, But killing for food in a way where they are not tortured or brutaly murdered is different They were killing innocent creatures for no reason! Something so beautiful and pure, and has an unknown meaning until you see a pod of dolphins up close We need to protect life as it is. NOT DESTROY IT!!! Eating dolphin? well you might as well drink a cup of murcery!
