The Cove: Discussion Guide

Submitted 3 months ago by tpart

Developed by Heartland Truly Moving Pictures to accompany The Cove, recipient of the Truly Moving Picture Award, an honored distinction given to films that unlock the vast potential of the human spirit and enable us to view stories that display courage, integrity and hope, taking entertainment to a higher level.
 
The Cove is a movie that not only sheds light upon the gross mistreatment of dolphinsby fishermen in a small town in Japan, but also explores the ramifications human actions have on theenvironment.
 
This film is a call to action. This guide provides people with the information to act.
