Shocking, tirelessly informative and absolutely thrilling to watch. The Cove is not your typical documentary, it plays out like a espionage thriller as former Flipper trainer, Ric O'Barry, and his crew try to uncover footage of the annual and highly secretive massacre of thousands of dolphins in a tiny lagoon in Taiji, Japan.
It's compelling stuff to witness and often difficult to watch as it uncovers corruption within the Japanese government that is allowing a town to be possibly poisoned…

The Cove följer en del av gruppen PSO som arbetar för att freda havsdjur bl.a. delfiner. Den innehåller en del direkt aktivistarbete, en del politiken bakom skydd och jakt av valdjur samt en del i historiken. Vi följer också en av männen bakom den kända serien Flipper som spelades in på 60-talet som i filmen utmålas som orsaken till vår fascination av just Flasknosdelfiner och därav hela industrin kring dem. Välgjort, gripande och väldigt för djur i allmänhet och delfiner i synnerhet.

Truly the most shocking and distressing doc I've ever watched. This can't go on surely.

A documentary engineered to make you mad as fuck, that's the idea, we humans don't like to get out of our seats unless we're all riled up. As even the poster will tell you, this is some horrifying shit, you will see dolphins stabbed to death and it is not for the weak of heart. It's certainly one hell of a haunting documentary. It's one sided but it's hard to think of a way to properly aggregate just what the…
