Using state-of-the-art equipment, a group of activists, led by renowned dolphin trainer Ric O'Barry, infiltrate a cove near Taijii, Japan to expose both a shocking instance of animal abuse and a serious threat to human health.
- carlijustice3 January 2026This was a very well done documentary movie that is certainly not a feel good tale. It was an important tale to tell the public about as activism on the part of the public could possibly stop the horror of this harvest. I honestly watched this in horror of what happens in The Cove. This is not intended for children. This is not a family documentary. I would recommend mature audiences only for this documentary's viewing. Important to watch. The public should be made aware. Hard to stomach some scenes though.
