Cove, The

An Oscar-winning, gripping, eye-opening, ire-raising, gut-wrenching documentary that chronicles renown daredevil dolphin trainer and longtime animal rights activist Ric O'Barry and a team of courageous and passionate Americans, including members of the Oceanic Preservation Society (OPS), as they evade suspicious Japanese authorities and irate fisherman by using strategic, sneaky, military-like planning and state-of-the art equipment in their dangerous and diligent pursuit of exposing the horrific, cruel, and shocking high-price slaughter of more than 23,000 thousand dolphins annually in an isolated, highly guarded cover near Taiji, Japan, where mercury-contaminated dolphin meat is then subsequently sold to unsuspecting Japanese consumers.
