| The Cove, a 2009 Academy Award winning documentary directed by Louie Psihoyos features the concentrated efforts of Ric O’Barry to save dolphins from captivity and culling. Whilst this movie strongly addresses the slaughter of dolphins in Taiji Japan, it does so against the backdrop of a large range of interconnected environmental concerns; from policy change, quotas and scientifically stipulated moratoriums, to ecological crises that have not been inflation adjusted, capitalistic myopia, and the upright ape ability to serve as a catalyst for biodiversity loss. Many have elected against viewing this movie on account of disturbing graphic content but this is a PG13 picture that does not intend to entertain but educate its viewers. Contrary to popular preconceived notions, Louie Psihoyos masterfully employs a restrained and eloquent visual vocabulary to unravel the truth about the cove and portray more than meets the eye. |
