Winner of audience awards across the world, including Sundance, SilverDocs and Hot Docs, The Cove follows a team of activists and filmmakers as they infiltrate a heavily-guarded cove in Taiji, Japan. In this remote village they witness and document activities deliberately being hidden from the public: More than 20,000 dolphins and porpoises are being slaughtered each year and their meat, containing toxic levels of mercury, is being sold as food in Japan, often times labeled as whale meat.

The majority of the world is not aware this is happening. The Taiji cove is blocked off from the public. Cameras are not allowed inside and the media does not cover the story. It's critical that we get the word out in Japan. It's critical that we get the word out—everywhere. We believe that once the Japanese people know, they will demand change.

Please visit the site and see the movie and spread the word, I saw the film last night and I can't get the images and sounds out of my head. Dolphins and humans share such an indescribably beautiful bound of consciousness, this cannot be permitted, ignored or accepted, if we seek to raise global consciousness.

Goddessbless all sentient beings on Earth, may we prevail in the face of ignorance, laziness and the contempt for all life.
