The Cove

documentary

Very powerful, slickly done account of the slaughter of dolphins in a remote cove in eastern Japan where the animals are herded and killed for food.

This was intended as a polemic and is very effective as a call-to-action to stop this practice. The Japanese have a cultural blind spot against admitting that cetaceans are intelligent creatures entitled to protection and need an international wake-up call. This film may provide just that.
