Last night I watched The Cove at work. Has anyone seen it? I had been wanting to watch it for a while, and now after winning Best Documentary on Sunday, I made it more of a priority.
It kind of left me speechless. I've always felt a strong connection to whales and dolphins, for some reason. I postered my neighbourhood when I was a kid with my sketches of a whale tale and a rainbow and the heading "Save the Whales!" I wasn't really into music; I played whale song CD's in my bedroom. Needless to say, this film really struck a chord with me. I don't know if one could see The Cove and not be totally affected by it.
The last 10 minutes will be among the most horrifying footage you will ever see. So, rent it. You must! Save the whales and dolphins!

I know right!? I watched this a few months ago and was so shaken. I was so happy to see that it won!
The Cove was amazing. You should also check out Sharkwater, it will make you appreciate sharks and illustrate how poorly we treat them.
I've seen Sharkwater, and I did enjoy it very much, but the brutality of The Cove left me with a much more bitter taste in my mouth.
I just saw this. It makes me want to go to Japan with some bristol board, a picket, and magic markers! Poor dolphins. The image of red water will not leave me brain....
