\"The_Cove_Poster\"<\/p>\n

Powerful. Impressive. Visceral. Heartbreaking. Humbling. Inspiring.<\/p>\n

You all probably remember, or at least know of, the beloved television series \u201cFlipper.\u201d\u00a0 An integral part of the success of \u201cFlipper\u201d was Richard O\u2019Barry who, in the 1960’s was the world\u2019s leading authority on dolphin training.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Flipper lagoon, dock and house was actually O\u2019Barry\u2019s and it\u2019s where he trained and cared for the dolphins who took turns playing Flipper.\u00a0 Well cared for and free to swim in open waters, it all came to a screeching halt with the cancellation of the tv show and the dolphins being sent to a seaquarium.\u00a0 It was there that O\u2019Barry\u2019s special dolphin, the one who played the majority of Flipper scenes, Kathy, died in his arms.\u00a0 Contained in a small tank, unable to swim free, engage with humans and exercise properly, according to O\u2019Barry, he truly believes that Kathy finally just gave up from depression.\u00a0\u00a0 And in that one moment, O\u2019Barry knew what his life\u2019s calling would now be – making certain that cestaceans (whales, dolphins) be kept free.\u00a0 Now a self-proclaimed \u201cabolitionist\u201d of dolphin captivity as \u201cthey don\u2019t do well in captivity\u201d, it is O\u2019Barry\u2019s advocacy and activism that bring us THE COVE.<\/p>\n

Taiji, Japan is known for its annual herding of dolphins by local fisherman wherein the dolphins are funneled into a lagoon by disorienting them with noise which not only affects their sonar capabilities but instills fear in them.\u00a0 (According to O\u2019Barry, dolphins do have emotions and after listening to him for only a few minutes, you yourself will have no doubts either.)\u00a0\u00a0 Once the dolphins are in the lagoon, dolphin sales begin as Taiji is where seaquariums, private individuals and aquatic show producers go to buy their dolphins, some of which go for as much as $150,000 apiece.\u00a0 As you can imagine though, not all the dolphins are sold.\u00a0 So what happens with the those left behind?<\/p>\n

\"cove_-_stabbing_dolphin\"<\/p>\n

Around the corner from the lagoon exists a cove.\u00a0 Described by director Louie Psihoyos as a \u201cnatural fortress\u201d, it is protected by rocky cliffs on three sides.\u00a0 There is only one ingress and that is from the sea.\u00a0 The access to the cliffs from the land is blocked by fencing and guarded.\u00a0 Why?<\/p>\n

\"cove_-_ric_2\"For years it was known but never documented due to the inaccessibility of the cove,\u00a0 that the Taiji fisherman would herd the unsold dolphins into the cove, then bludgeon them to death and sell and\/or donate the meat to stores, restaurants and even local schools throughout Japan, often times disguising it as \u201cwhale meat.\u201d\u00a0 Officials with knowledge of this goes high on the political food chain.\u00a0\u00a0 How many dolphins are killed each year for this?\u00a0 Approximately 23, 000.<\/p>\n

Enter first time director Louie Psihoyos who was attending a conference of 2000 of the world\u2019s top marine mammal scientists at which O\u2019Barry was to speak.\u00a0 At the last minute, O\u2019Barry was pulled from the dais and banned from speaking by conference sponsor Sea World.\u00a0\u00a0 Intrigued, Psihoyos wanted to know why and connected with O\u2019Barry who told him the story of Taiji.\u00a0 In that one moment, both Psyihoyos life, and now ours, would forever change.<\/p>\n

\"cove_6\"Accompanying O\u2019Barry to Taiji, Psihoyos wanted to get to the truth and tell the story, not only the story of the heinous dolphin slaughter, but the bigger picture involving mercury poisoning which spreads like wildfire as a result of dolphin meat being distributed to an unwitting public, and the causal relationship between man, pollution, the food chain and the sea.\u00a0\u00a0 It was his hope to tell a balanced story with the cooperation of the government and citizens of Taiji.\u00a0 But that wasn\u2019t to be the case.\u00a0 Describing it as a town \u201clike out a Stephen King novel\u201d, outwardly appearing normal but reeking of harboring some dirty secret, Psihoyos determined to penetrate the cove and see what was going on.\u00a0 But that would require military precision.<\/p>\n

Documenting the operation step by step, we follow Psihoyos as he puts his team of the best-of-the-best together for what could prove to be a mission as dangerous as that executed by any military.\u00a0 Calling on champion freedivers Many Rae-Cruikshank and Kirk Krack, Industrial Light and Magic, an electronics expert formerly with the Canadian Air Force and even \u201cpirates\u201d, Psihoyos assembled his \u201cOcean\u2019s 11″ team and proceeded with the operation which included surveillance, use of remote controlled helicopters, blimps and drones, military grade thermal cameras and exacting work performed almost exclusively at night so as to elude the Taiji guards.\u00a0\u00a0 For Psihoyos, key to the success of this film is that \u201cin this case everybody understood what the real story was.\u00a0 We started out with the cove.\u00a0 Once we decided that,\u00a0 we had this Ocean\u2019s 11 theme going on.\u00a0 How is that pulled together?\u00a0 We had the footage.\u00a0 600 hours of footage.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"cove_-_mandy___whale\"<\/p>\n

Taking complexity to new levels, Psihoyos and his team made over 7 trips to Japan, shooting over 1 \u00bd years, with \u201c7 nights into the cove.\u00a0 Sometimes we only had one or two cameras, depending on how many guards were in the lagoon.\u00a0 If we had the run of the place, we would try to get 4 or 5 cameras in.\u00a0 But sometimes we could only get a couple, one or two.\u00a0 Or we would break one [of the cameras encased in foam rocks created by ILM] on the way in.\u00a0\u00a0 We had about four or five positions in the cove that we used 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 cameras and then helicopter footage and then one camera down below.\u201d<\/p>\n

No one, and nothing,\u00a0 can prepare you for what you will see in this footage.\u00a0 Shot in high definition, the imagery is beyond vivid and will blow you out of the water.\u00a0 Unsettling, distressing and horrifying, what you see on screen are not Cecil B. DeMille special effects performed by the hand of God or the staff of Moses.\u00a0 What you will see comes by the cruelty of man.<\/p>\n

\"cove_5\"There are no holds barred, no stone left unturned, no image left unfilmed.\u00a0 The filmmakers really push the envelope with this one.\u00a0 Geoff Richman\u2019s editing is top notch and keeps you on the edge of your seat, building to the moment when the secret film footage of the cove is finally shown.\u00a0 And Mark Monroe\u2019s script captures the complexity and emotion so important to Psihoyos and the story.\u00a0 There is as much tension building in this documentary as in any Hitchcock film.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 According to Psihoyos. \u201cI was really instrumental in trying to keep the story complicated.\u00a0 I never wanted to dumb it down and simplify it.\u00a0 To me, that\u2019s the beauty of it – that it\u2019s complex.\u00a0 It\u2019s textured.\u00a0 It\u2019s not just a movie about THE COVE, it involves mercury poisoning, over-fishing, Ric\u2019s backstory, his story of redemption.\u00a0 Even Mandy [Cruikshank] and Kirk\u2019s [Krack] story, that little sequence where you see them bonding with whales and dolphins.\u00a0 These are just emotional visceral things that I really wanted to keep in the film because they were so important to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

I’ve seen many documentaries on tragedy and the inhumanity of man around the globe – Darfur, in particular; the war, African starvation, water\/drought, etc. but nothing – nothing – compares with the force with which THE COVE affected me and which I believe, will affect you.\u00a0 It’s one thing to see tragedy with people as the victims. But people allegedly do have brain power and the capability of voicing their complaints, taking a stand and doing something to try and resolve their problems or conditions. Animals do not.\u00a0 Ironically, though, as elaborated on by O\u2019Barry, dolphins have the intelligence to “voice” their concerns and ask for help, and if given the chance, they could convey their emotion (as they do in this film with their sounds).\u00a0 But, because of man’s backward thinking and ego believing no creature can be as intelligent as humans, man refuses to learn and grow and communicate with these incredible creatures and in the case of Taiji, looks at them only as a meal ticket.<\/p>\n

For O\u2019Barry, his hope is that THE COVE will \u201cspread the word around the world\u201d and get people involved in the cause to abolish dolphin captivity and the Taiji slaughter, as well as, motivate politicians to take an active stance in international commissions on the subject.\u00a0 For Psihoyos,\u00a0 he hopes THE COVE makes people \u201cthink they should realize that these animals are more sophisticated than most people give them credit for.\u00a0 So that doesn\u2019t mean incarcerate them and teach them to do stupid tricks for our amusement.\u00a0 I want them to realize that we\u2019re polluting the planet and not just dolphins and whales, but polluting things we like to eat. . .we\u2019re jeopardizing our major source of protein – seafood.\u00a0 And that\u2019s through the burning of fossil fuels.\u00a0 People really need to get that connection.\u00a0 Mercury poisoning is real.\u00a0 It\u2019s getting worse.\u00a0 And it\u2019s not just mercury.\u00a0 It\u2019s lead, cadmium.\u00a0 Basically everything [we] buy ends up at one point or another back down to the sea.\u00a0 We are doing what no wild animal will do.\u00a0 And that\u2019s fouling our own nest. [The sea] is a really precious resource.\u00a0 We told the story through Ric\u2019s backstory and through dolphins and whales – the big charismic megapod and people care about those.\u00a0 I do too, but I think the bigger picture is that we\u2019re harming ourselves at the same time.\u00a0 I hope that comes through. . . There\u2019s no shortage of bad guys in this movie. . . There\u2019s this causal relationship.\u00a0 We\u2019re part of that same chain of events that\u2019s polluting the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"cove_-_louie_150_209_000\"Watching THE COVE makes you wonder exactly who is the intelligent species – man or the dolphins.\u00a0\u00a0 My vote is on the dolphins and on people like Ric O\u2019Barry and Louie Psihoyos.<\/p>\n
