In the feature documentary "The Cove," a team of activists and filmmakers infiltrate a heavily-guarded cove in Taiji, Japan. In this remote village they witness and document activities deliberately being hidden from the public: More than 20,000 dolphins and porpoises are being slaughtered each year and their meat, containing toxic levels of mercury, is being sold as food in Japan, often times labeled as whale meat.

Most Japanese have no idea that the cruel dolphins slaughter takes place and how toxic the dolphin meat is. The few Japanese citizens who have seen the film have been shocked and horrified. If millions see it and learn the truth, the pressure to end the slaughter could be unstoppable. 

Help me spread the word in Japan, encourage the Japanese public to see the film, intensify press coverage of the ongoing slaughter, force the Japanese government to release the hidden information regarding the mercury testing of Taiji residents, and keep up our monitoring and investigations at the cove in Taiji.
