There is always something about documentaries that's so much more then just watching a film. After you finish watching a film you talk, remember and move on sooner or later, whereas a documentary leaves a mark, always. Leaves you thinking about it every now and again. Leaves you wanting to do something - either to help, change you life or just hold the new awareness it has given you with a positive attitude.
This particular documentary made me have all of those points: I hold a new awareness, I want to (and I think I have) change my attitude (and ignorance) on the subject and wanting to help. This documentary is called 'The Cove' and it's left me with a particular need to share the information it has given me - although I had no idea how to express it in as much detail and with the impact it witholds. Therefore; I recommend you watch it. This is something you need to see. What it is about? Dolphins. The man who created the world of 'Flipper' is in regret over what business he has built in the ignorance of innocently making a television programme. Taiji in Japan is capturing and murdering at least 23,000 dolphins every september in hope to make millions. What makes this documentary great is that it captures every horror of what's happening - from the obvious - the greatness in amount of killings and sufferings to the Minamata disease seen before in Japan because of eating the meat from whales and dolphins. The facts and acts towards the protagonist are outstanding and outrageous and the images are terrifying and heart-breaking.
The only way it can be stopped is word of mouth. Making it something to talk about, to scream about and to protest about.
I'll leave this in the desirable hope for you to watch it, an image in hope to stress the situation and a webpage for you to join and help the cause if it suits you.
