The Cove
Few documentaries have divided critics as much as The Cove. Activists and dolphin trainer Ric O’Barry — who worked with television’s “Flipper,” but now defends the intelligent creatures, protesting captivity — infiltrated groups of Japanese dolphin hunters, secretly recording the controversial practice. A thrilling exposé to some and propaganda to others, The Cove is heartbreaking, insightful, and unforgettable.
