THE COVE TRAILER

its a very powerful documentary about how
dolphins are captured and miss treated..and to think that Dolphins have
the mental capabilities of a small child..( and I think more spiritual
than most adults)

Academy Award® Winner for Best Documentary of 2009, THE COVE follows an elite team of activists, filmmakers and freedivers as they embark on a covert mission to penetrate a remote and hidden cove in
Taiji, Japan, shining a light on a dark and deadly secret. Utilizing
state-of-the-art techniques, including hidden microphones and cameras in
fake rocks, the team uncovers how this small seaside village serves as a
horrifying microcosm of massive ecological crimes happening worldwide.
The result is a provocative mix of investigative journalism,
eco-adventure and arresting imagery, adding up to an unforgettable story
that has inspired audiences worldwide to action.

THE COVE is directed by Louie Psihoyos and produced by
Paula DuPré Pesmen and Fisher Stevens. The film is written by Mark
Monroe. The executive producer is Jim Clark and the co-producer is
Olivia Ahnemann.

"The Secret Is Out. Spread the Word.

The Cove exposes the slaughter of more than 20,000 dolphins and porpoises off the coast of Japan every year, and how their meat, containing toxic levels of mercury, is being sold as food in Japan and
other parts of Asia, often labeled as whale meat. The majority of the
world is not aware this is happening. The focus of the Social Action
Campaign for The Cove is to create worldwide awareness of this annual
practice as well as the dangers of eating seafood contaminated with
mercury and to pressure those in power to put an end to the slaughter.

And it’s been working. The film has been making waves since it premiered last year. Critical praise and audience awards worldwide have focused international attention on Taiji and the annual dolphin drives
off the coast of Japan. Under intense pressure, Taiji called for a
temporary ban on killing bottlenose dolphins. The film, which was
originally rejected, was shown at the Tokyo Film Festival due to public
outcry. Residents in Taiji are being tested for mercury poisoning, and
for the first time Japanese media are covering the issue.


Close to a million people have signed on to the campaign, but this is just the beginning. The fisherman are clearly rattled, but haven’t stopped killing dolphins.

TakePart now to help shut down the cove for good."

This is one of many animals being mistreated in the world. These documentaries are a terrifying look at what is happening as our populations grow. More mouths to feed means more slaughter and inhumane treatment of the earth and its creatures. Promote condoms and adoption. The earth was not meant to sustain this many people without raping it of its beauty and resources.
