The Cove (12A)

Plot
Richard O達arry was the world痴 leading authority on dolphin training, working on the set of Flipper until tragedy struck. Years later, O達arry and a team of activists and filmmakers embarked on a covert mission to penetrate a hidden cove in Japan and reveal a dark, deadly secret.

Verdict
A taut, thrilling documentary that plays out like a heist movie while never overshadowing its message or activist credentials.
