The Cove

Everyone should see The Cove.  I watched it last night and was inspired by the dedication and risks taken by activists to capture and publicize the story of dolphin slaughter on the mountainous coastline of Taiji, Japan.  Their covertly shot video was graphically disturbing and left me very angered.  Issues of toxic mercury levels in seafood, mis-labelling of retail seafood, cover-ups and denials by fishermen and city officials, and the brutal killing of mammals deemed as intelligent as humans were all tackled in this documentary.  The film, which featured Oceanic Preservation Society activists was 2009 winner of the Audience Awards at Sundance and the Newport Beach film festival.  Check The Cove website (the source of the PSA below) for more information.
