The Cove



This documentary plays more like a thriller at its best parts (it's got its rogue star, who used to be the trainer on Flipper, and a ragtag group of friends from around the world), and a call-to-action at other parts. Highly recommended.

I was sort of hoping that this film could be one I use in the classroom someday, and that's possible (we're having Earth Day in the spring), but there were a few dry policy parts that I don't see 9th graders as being able to sit through. But the action is definitely there as well.

Watched this last night, fascinating movie, an environmental docu-drama that plays out like commando force thriller.

-committed to only seeing dolphins in their natural habitat

- sadden to learn that the Baltimore Aquarium killed so many dolphins before they got their filtration system noise right
