The Cove – New Film on Dolphin Trade
Watching this short trailer made me feel anxiety and anger. It’s about the Japanese whaling industry, dolphins who are killed, or kept in captivity. It was a 2009 Sundance winner. Rolling Stone describes it as, “Sundance is known for documentaries. But this baby, a cross between Flipper and The Bourne Identity, packed the heat…An intrepid America crew slips into Japan and nails the bad guys for doing terrible things to dolphins.”
This film looks fantastic. It focuses on the dolphin trade and shows that (like the average American on the street who doesn’t know about factory farming) the average Japanese person on the street doesn’t know about the dolphin issues. The film shows how dolphins are captured to be bought and sold for entertainment purposes.
I honestly don’t know if I’ll be able to watch it. It looks like such a stressful film and I’ll probably cry. My husband really wants to see it, so he’ll probably convince me. Plus, I like to give my 10 dollar ticket to films that are doing good. So, we’ll see. For now, take a look at the trailer, and if you can handle the stress (and are not a wuss like me), I say, go see this film. You can learn more here.
