Official details added!!!

I first heard about The Cove at last year's Showest convention in Las Vegas. Between gambling, cocktails and watching movies, Mike Sampson and myself met up with other online journos coming out of The Cove, all looking like their pet dolphins had been killed. In a way, it had. The Cove is a documentary that spotlights a hidden cove off the coast of Japan where 23,000 dolphins are slaughtered a year while the Japanese government turns its back. Judging by the quotes on the cover, you can guess that the film is pretty powerful and effective. Stay tuned for official details, and visit The Cove on December 8th.
