About The Cove
http://www.thecovethemovie.com
’The Cove,’” wrote “Time” magazine’s Mary Pols, “puts Hollywood capers like
‘Mission Impossible’ to shame.” According to a reviewer at the Sundance Film
Festival, “The Cove” is, “part environmental documentary, part horror film,
part spy thriller . . . as suspenseful as it is enlightening.”
What the film shows is more than the brutal slaughter of intelligent mammals.
“It’s really about over-fishing,” O’Barry said. “It’s a worldwide problem.
Basically, they’re killing the competition, because each of those dolphins eats
25 to 30 pounds of fish. As for the dolphin meat, nobody really knows where it
goes. You can’t really even buy it in Taiji. I’m thinking it might be exported
to places that have a protein shortage. We had this meat tested, and the
mercury levels on it is through the roof. It’s contaminated.”
Directed by Louie Psihoyos and produced by Paula DuPré Pesman and Fisher
Stevens, “The Cove” has won more than a dozen awards, including the Audience
Award at the 2009 Sundance, Hot Docs and Sydney Film Festivals as well as Best
Feature Film at the 2009 Nantucket Film Festival.For more information, contact
