"The Cove" follows a team of activists including former dolphin trainer from the "Flipper" television series Ric O'Barry. They battle Japanese police and fisherman to gain access to a cove in Taiji, Japan, where barbed wire blocks people from filming dolphin killings that begin in September each year. The documentary opens in the United States on Friday but has yet to receive distribution in Japan, where O'Barry says 23,000 dolphins and porpoises are legally killed each year. The Japanese government said it has done nothing wrong and cites cultural differences in response to the film. Dolphin meat is eaten by a very small percentage of Japanese people. The film has already been praised by critics and won the audience award at this year's Sundance Film Festival. "Eco-activist documentaries don't get much more compelling than 'The Cove'," said Variety's review. O'Barry, who has been visiting Taiji several times a year for the past eight years and now wears disguises in the town to avoid the attention of fisherman and the police, predicted the film would have a big impact. "When the film is seen in Japan, it will shut 'the cove' down permanently," he said in a recent interview. The 69-year-old says he began fighting against the captivity of dolphins when one of the animals he trained for the hit 1960s TV show "Flipper" voluntarily stopped breathing until it died. "Ric is a hero," said the film's director, Louie Psihoyos, who has photographed for National Geographic magazine. "He had success, he had fame, he had money and he turned his back on all of that to follow his conscience." TOXIC OCEANS The film turns into a gripping action-adventure using hi-tech cameras to film the efforts of Psihoyos and a team including underwater sound and camera experts as well as champion free divers to film inside the cove. "The film is about leading an 'Ocean's Eleven' kind of team into this secret cove to try to reveal its dark secrets," said Psihoyos, referring to the popular Hollywood film about a top notch team who break into impossible places. "It was extremely scary." But "The Cove" largely examines environmental issues, including Japan's efforts to persuade the International Whaling Commission (IWC) to lift a ban on commercial whaling introduced in 1986. The ban does not apply to smaller cetaceans including dolphins. Continued... View article on single page Share: Del.icio.us Digg Mixx Yahoo!
