ReviewsBox Office - [A] passionate documentary... Skilful, unsparing and blessed with a great protagonist, Chicago Sun-Times - THE COVE, a heartbreaking documentary, describes how Richard O'Barry, director Louie Psihoyos and a team of adventurers penetrated the tight security around the Taiji cove adn obtained forbidden footage of the mass slaughter of dolphins, Wall Street Journal - THE COVE is many things at once: an eco-shocker about the slaughter of dolphins, a quasidocumentary framed as a high-tech thriller and, as if that weren't enough, a tale of sinner seeking redemption, New York Times - Like the director's cover story, the movie is a Trojan horse: an exceptionally well-made documentary that unfolds like a spy thriller, complete with bugged hotel rooms, clandestine derring-do and mysterious men in gray flannel suits, Entertainment Weekly - THE COVE is the rare documentary specifically designed as a thriller... Its images of blood in the water are worth a thousand preachy words, Hollywood Reporter - THE COVE is much more than a social-issue doc, combining investigative reporting, educational filmmaking and eco-thriller elements... Shot rivetingly by cinematographer Brooke Aitken, Los Angeles Times - THE COVE is a powerful and effective piece of advocacy filmmaking, Rolling Stone - It has the breathless pace of a BOURNE movie, but none of the comfort of fiction. This is documentary filmmaking at its most exciting and purposeful

Additional InformationIn the 1960s, Richard O'Barry enjoyed a lucrative career as a specialised animal trainer; he captured the five dolphins that were used in the popular television series FLIPPER, and taught them the tricks and special commands they used on the show. Four decades later, O'Barry has renounced his former life as a trainer and become an animal rights activist, speaking out against the hunting of aquatic mammals and keeping them in captivity. O'Barry is not welcome in Taiji, a town along the Japanese coast where hunting dolphins is a major part of the local economy, but he and a group of activist filmmakers made their way into the city as well as the carefully guarded harbour in hopes of documenting the abuse of dolphins by fisherman and the poisoning of the waters that has taken a toll on the marine ecology. O'Barry and his colleagues captured some beautiful underwater footage as well as shocking images of how the town's fisherman have sullied the dolphins and their habitat, and director Louie Psihoyos has used this material as the basis for the documentary THE COVE, which received its world premiere at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival.
