The Cove

Better Dan

I believe Eddie mentioned this movie at one of last year's LA shows and I just saw that it won the academy award for best documentary. It is about Dolphin hunting in Japan. Has anyoene seen it? It's on my netflix list and am looking forward to checking it out.

In all seriousness, I don't think a documentary about dolphin hunting is for me.

I watched this last night and was blown away. I was amazed that so many people in Japan had no idea that this was going on. The scenes of the cove once the hidden cameras are set up are very hard to watch. :(
The rest of the documentary is very interesting, especially how Rick O'Barry went from the trainer of Flipper to the activist that he is today..

Impressive documentary

Yeah, someone on here had insinuated Japanese people are horrible because of their "tradition" of dolphin hunting. I think they completely missed the point of the documentary.

Great documentary, but true hard to watch. I cried... Its fucking terrible.

I've heard about it, but I just can't watch it. I'm sick just thinking about it.
