I finally went to see The Cove, a documentary about the annual dolphin slaughter in Taiji, Japan. The Cove made its way around the film festival circuit this year, earning over a dozen awards—and for good reason. I had seen short clips of the water running crimson from the blood of dolphins being killed there, but this seems to be the first time anyone has taken comprehensive footage and put it together into a compelling story that will be sure to reach a wide audience.
The Cove is out in theaters now, and it should be relatively easy to find a showing; in the San Francisco Bay Area alone, it is currently playing in 5 theaters. Anyone who is interested in the ocean and its marine wildlife should definitely go see it. To take action against the slaughter, go to takepart.com/thecove/.
