This devastating thriller is compulsory viewing for anybody who believes in the power of documentary to right a wrong. In the 1960s, Richard O'Barry was the world's leading authority on dolphin training, working on the set of the popular television program Flipper. Day in and day out, O'Barry kept the dolphins working and television audiences smiling. But one day, it all came to a tragic end. The Cove, directed by top dive photographer Louie Psihoyos, tells the amazing story of how Psihoyos, O'Barry, and an elite team of activists, filmmakers, and freedivers embarked on a covert mission to penetrate a hidden cove in Japan, shining light on a dark and deadly secret. The mysteries they uncovered were only the tip of the iceberg. Already the Audience Award-winning film at Sundance 2009, The Cove is a potent, unforgettable work, and sure to be one the year's most acclaimed documentaries. Sean Farnel.
