**** - a certain Oscar nominee" - Roger Ebert

"an astonishing feat of advocacy filmmaking and a white knuckle eco-thriller" - Film Threat

"an exceptionally well-made documentary that unfolds like a spy thriller"- NY Magazine

"PARK CITY -- Among the most charismatically cinematic animals, dolphins have enlivened scores of nature programs and filled the starring role on the 1960s TV series "Flipper." Focusing on "Flipper" trainer Richard O'Barry's subsequent career rescuing captive dolphins, Louie Psihoyos' Audience Award winner "The Cove" is much more than a social-issue doc, combining investigative reporting, educational filmmaking and eco-thriller elements that inspired repeat standing ovations at Sundance screenings.

For nearly 40 years after his traumatic experience on "Flipper" that saw the death of his favorite dolphin, O'Barry has worked to free these marine mammals and publicize their plight. Teaming with conservation organizations Earth Island Institute and the Oceanic Preservation Society, he has zeroed in on Japan's small coastal town of Taiji, where fishermen ensnare a majority of dolphins displayed in marine parks.

Beyond objections to the Taiji fishermen's hunting practices, which force the animals into nets, O'Barry suspects the town is concealing unsavory secrets related to the exploitation of dolphins passed over for capture.

Together with the OPS' Psihoyos, a veteran National Geographic photographer, scuba diver and first-time filmmaker, O'Barry assembles a crack team of marine specialists, high-tech experts and experienced divers to investigate the fate of dolphins herded into a cove adjacent to the Taiji capture site.

Already notorious for protesting Taiji's marine-mammal industry, O'Barry is forced to keep a low profile while submitting to police questioning, constant surveillance and frequent harassment as the other team members case the cove, which is surrounded by high cliffs and protected by razor-wire fencing, security patrols and guard dogs.

During several covert night missions, the investigators penetrate the defensive cordon to conceal remote microphones and high-definition cameras with attached hard drives, hidden underwater or along the cliffs inside customized imitation rocks. Once retrieved, the clandestine footage reveals a worst-case scenario for the dolphins." - The Hollywood Reporter
This special screening will be followed by a Q & A from dolphin trainer/star Ric O'Barry's Team

The Cove has won thirteen awards from eleven film festivals

I really want to see this, but I doubt I will get to the LBC in time.
