dolphin slaughter

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.
