The director of the controversial, yet poignant documentary The Cove has found himself in more hot water. Louie Psihoyos has been at odds with Japanese authorities ever since he filmed portions of his film in the country, that exposed the harsh treatment given to dolphins. According to the Associated Press, Psihoyos risks being arrested by Japanese officials if he decides to attend the The Cove premiere at this year’s Tokyo Film Festival.

That’s it! I’m putting my foot down! I am so sick of people saying “The Cove, oh no I can’t see that film, it’s about dolphin killing.” You stupid person, you’re wrong and I’m not listening to you anyone. I’m saying this as simply as possible. You are a bad person if you do not see this film. Everyone, EVERYONE needs to see The Cove. Not because you all need to go out and save Flipper but because it will inspire you to do something (not necessarily with dolphins) good in your life and leave you feeling empowered. You can make a difference in whatever way you want just like the people in this film are doing.

A while ago I was lucky enough to sit down, one on one with Louie Psihoyos the director of the must see film, The Cove. I keep hearing people say to me, “I can’t handle a film about killing dolphins.” Well take it from a person who has saved many animals, big and small, and can’t stand gore; if you love animals you will love this film. If you loved Ocean’s 11, you will love this film. If you’re interested in seeing something that WILL affect you, you will love this film.
Thanks to Psihoyos, this film does not (I repeat DOES NOT) offend but encourages and dare I say inspires people who love animals and film. Mainly this is due to it’s focus, instead of making it about the killing, he focuses on how a group of people come together and risk their lives to try and to something good.
It’s an amazing film that I can’t say enough good things about. Check out the interview below…
