Documentary on dolphin slaughter in Japan has ties to Colorado
A new documentary receiving critical acclaim was filmed by Boulder-based photographer Louie Psihoyos. Psihoyos, a twenty-year veteran as a National Geographic photographer, made “The Cove,” with activist and former Flipper trainer, Ric O’Berry. Because of Psihoyos Boulder connection, several other members of his team (he calls them “pirates”) were also from Colorado. The documentary was much-loved at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2009, where it received the Audience Award.
