Louie Psihoyos & Ric O’Barry

Highlighting the horrifying annual slaughter of thousands of dolphins in the small fishing town of Taijii, Japan, The Cove is quite possibly the most important film you will see this year. Yet under the surface it is much more than a film. It is an ongoing struggle to save one of the planets most beloved animals and for Ric O’Barry , the films passionate protagonist, it embodies a lifelong labour of love that has seen the former Flipper star turn from twinkle eyed trainer to ageing activist.
