‘Seaspiracy’ is a documentary from the same people who brought us ‘Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret’, which was backed by celebrity environmentalist Leonardo DiCaprio.
2009’s ‘The Cove’ was a documentary that caused widespread shock and outrage. Now, nine years later, it’s time to hear the other side of the story.
The Japanese town of Taiji became synonymous with brutal dolphin slaying after the Oscar-winning, tear-jerking, doccie, ‘The Cove,’ was released. Sadly, regardless of the international recognition and fame the documentary received, dolphin hunting at the cove still takes place annually between September and April, and its about to get a whole lot darker.
