A bit surprised that I didn't see more about this movie on the threads.
I just watched it for the first time. Besides the main story of the Dolphin massacre, its actually a pretty cool spy-like thriller film.
Of course, that is quickly overshadowed when you see what they spied on. I was absolutely in shock. Terrified.
Prior to seeing the movie, I was thinking to myself that it's not right for 'us' to interfere with other cultures...ie - we can complain about them killing those dolphins but our food industry treats many animals just as inhumanely, imo.
Then the movie spoke about the mercury factor in the Dolphin meat and how it is not really edible, at least not if you want to stay healthy.
That fact alone makes this practice appalling and combine that with the fact that almost no one in Japan knows about this and you realize quickly that this is not a cultural issue.
As they say, it's all about the Benjamin's here and somewhere a line has to be drawn. What they are doing is seriously tragic.
I highly encourage everyone to watch this movie.
