O tem filmu

Documentary following a team of activists led by renowned dolphin trainer Ric O'Barry as they embark on a covert mission to infiltrate an undercover operation run in a hidden cove in Taiji, Japan. Driven by a lucrative black market for dolphin meat, the local fishermen are illegally capturing and slaughtering dolphins, causing a significant risk to public health as the meat they sell is tainted with toxic levels of mercury.

Everyone should be aware of what is happeing to dolphins in fish-eating nations. This film is very hard to watch but thoroughly compelling in its narrative of showing the absolute horror of the slaughter of these sentinent creatures. NOT for children. No-one will 'love' this film but everyone who watches it will be changed by it- the finest accolade for any documentary.

A docufilm that everyone should see that brings to light how that "amazing dolphin and/or orca show" that you went to see on your holiday obtained their dolphins & whales. Very hard to watch but a film that underlines just how savage the human species can be.

Really explains the horrid things that happen in taiji. But SeaWorld has nothing to do with this.
