This movie really has something to say and all I got to say is these people are so poor and they're trying to make a living I'm not condoning what they do but I'm not making such a big deal out of it either I mean that little bitty spot is not going to stop what they're doing you're actually killing people by taking away their livelihood I'm not condoning what they do and the ending is something else if you don't cry you haven't got a heart

Very well done documentary. It deserves the Oscar it won for Best Documentary. Good suspense story about how the filmmakers devised and implemented creative ways to get past Japanese security to document what Japan doesn't want the world to see. Some beautiful scenes and just enough of the bad stuff so you know what all the fuss is about. An entertaining way to learn what is still happening in Taiji (The Cove) and hopefully be inspired to speak out: TheDolphinProject.org
