We recently went to see this amazing film at our local theatre and all we can say is you must go see it for yourself. To quote one of its reviewers, “[The Cove] Moves you, engages you, thrills you, enrages you.”

The Cove follows a team of activists and filmmakers as they infiltrate a heavily-guarded cove in Taiji, Japan. In this remote village they witness and document activities deliberately being hidden from the public: More than 20,000 dolphins and porpoises are being slaughtered each year and their meat, containing toxic levels of mercury, is being sold as food in Japan, often times labeled as whale meat.

The majority of the world is not aware this is happening. The Taiji cove is blocked off from the public. Cameras are not allowed inside and the media does not cover the story. It’s critical that we get the word out in Japan.  It’s critical that we get the word out—everywhere.  We believe that once the Japanese people know, they will demand change.

Please take a moment to learn more about The Cove and help put a stop to this awful act.
