A little town with a big secret, Taiji, Japan, 
where migrating dolphins are herded into nets for 
buyers around the world to select for captivity 
for aquarium shows, then into a hidden cove, 
where the largest dolphin slaughter in the world 
takes place, the meat being sold in Japanese 
supermarkets, and for children school lunch 
programs, usually mislabeled as whale meat, and 
laden with toxic levels of mercury.  The Cove is 
the first product of the non-profit company, 
Oceanic Preservation Society, OPS.

This movie is about the health of our planet and 
the oceans, told around a story about dolphins...

Beautiful freediving sequences http://thecovemovie.com/the_cove/freediving.htm

"The Cove" review (5/5). Summer's best 
thriller.  A Combination of Flipper and the Bourne Identity.

The number of environmentally themed films 
crowding specialty cinemas is staggering and 
quite honestly many tend to blur together. 
Shattering this green trend is director 
<http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3174775/>Louie 
Psihoyos and screenwriter 
<http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0598531/>Mark Monroe 
who set their incredible documentary 
"<http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1313104/>The Cove" 
apart by turning their environmental tale into a 
taut espionage thriller. Their artistic bravery 
and willingness to tweak documentary formula 
result in the most suspenseful film of the 
summer. Following a secret team of activists who 
risk their safety filming the harvesting of 
dolphins in the remote port town of Taiji, Japan, 
Psihoyos brings to the film much of what 
documentary fans expect: beautiful photography, 
fascinating subjects and a rallying cause. »
