See the Oscar Award winning documentary that exposed the slaughtering of countless dolphins and exposed the ecological crimes taking place in Taiji, Japan, at the Muvico Theater in BayWalk on Wednesday, May 5th.
The Cove, the recent winner of the Academy Award for best documentary and 24 other film accolades, uncovers the horrific practices in the small Japanese town that, at first glance, seems to be devoted to these playful aquatic mammals. The filmmakers soon realize that there are dark secrets beneath the surface of this seemingly dolphin-loving town, exposing the truth about the slaughter and the selling of the animals' heavily mercury-tainted meat as counterfeit whale meat.
The film is "a provocative mix of investigative journalism, eco-adventure and arresting imagery," documenting these brave eco-activists and their dangerous covert mission to lift the veil of secrecy and show the public what was really taking place in Taiji.
