The truths discovered in documentary films often reveal far more than meet the eye. In his Oscar winning movie "
the Cove" photojournalist
Louie Psihoyos takes us on an adventure that perhaps shows us more than we want to see.
“I lead an elite team of activists to penetrate a secret cove in Japan to reveal a dark secret,” Psihoyos said.
The Cove, part action thriller, part nature film is the exciting story behind a covert operation to document one of the most horrific atrocities of the 21
st century, the systematic slaughter of dolphins.
“They kill more dolphins than anywhere on the planet right there at this cove, which incidentally is in a Japanese national park, a marine sanctuary,” Psihoyos said. That’s the irony of this whole thing. But it’s also the scene of the captive dolphin trade. Most of the captive dolphins in the world come from this little cove.”
