“The Cove” tells the amazing true story of how Louie Psihoyos, Richard O’Barry and an elite team of activists, filmmakers and freedivers embarked on a covert mission to penetrate a hidden cove in Japan, shining light on a dark and deadly secret. The mysteries they uncovered were only the tip of the iceberg.
In the documentary about the dolphin massacre in Taiji, Japan, a simple scene speaks volumes: an underwater camera is placed at the site of the killings, where up to 23,000 dolphins are snuffed out annually. This camera, through a time lapse effect, first shows the blue-green water and then shows the gradual colouring of the water into a deep blood-red. The fishermen are killing the dolphins they can’t sell to recreational marine facilities.
