Cove director gives free DVD of the film to all Taiji residents

Article Summary:

The director of “The Cove”, Louie Psihoyos, said on Monday that a Japanese dubbed version of the film was delivered over the weekend to all households in Taiji, Japan, with the help of a local group called People Concerned for the Ocean. The Oscar-winning documentary is based on the sales and slaughter of dolphins in a cove near the town.

Huffington Post has quoted Psihoyos as saying that he was concerned many Japanese have yet to see the film, but especially the 3,500 people of Taiji in the southwest of the country.
