I've watched this documentary around five times now; its challenging for a film to be able to retain the audience's attention after five viewings, and so very impressive for a documentary to be able to do this. Unsurprisingly it was the Winner of the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival and Academy Award for best documentary 2009. Ric O'Barry's passion becomes infectious through the screen as he exposes the annual killing of dolphins in a Quasi-National Park at Taiji, Wakayama, in Japan, and he and a crew of activists take on their 'mission impossible' to film and unearth the horrific events that occur in the cove. For me this is a great example of a documentary and really influential in the making of my own.
