Example #4 - The Cove
"Never depend upon institutions or government to solve any problem. All social movements are founded by, guided by, motivated and seen through by the passion of individuals. "
—Margaret Mead
An awesome documentary about some people, including Flipper's trainer Ric O'Barry, trying to stop the Dolphin Slaughter in Taiji, Japan. That red stuff at the end of the trailer is not a special effect.
The only thing that I didn't understand was the part about Mercury poisoning and how it causes Autism. RFK, Jr. said something about how there are no 30 year old autistics in response to some government study that said something about autism not getting detected until people are in their 30's. I really didn't understand what he was talking about because I am 35 years old and I did not even suspect that I had Asperger's Syndrome until 9 months ago. Everything else in this movie was awesome.
I wish there were more Ric O'Barry's in this world.
