歌手馬修 連恩是今天晚上的貴賓之一,關於這次的首映他表示:

“我很興奮能出席 "血色海灣"在台灣的首映會。

這是歷史上首次,我們的孩子,出生於一個面臨全球環境問題的世界。

去年,我成為了台灣兒子的父親。但我替他感到難過,因為他的台灣,正面臨了黯淡的未來。

在台灣,我兒子的天然棲息地逐漸消失,污染正摧毀他美麗的生態系,他的海洋也由於二氧化碳酸化,致使珊瑚礁無法生存。

但我們~現在的大人,還有時間做一些重要的選擇,其中一個是我們是否要拯救台灣白海豚免於滅絕。

感謝像"血色海灣"這樣的紀錄片,讓更多人察覺危機正朝海洋逼近。我希望在台灣放映這部電影,能讓我們決定孩子生長的台灣,和台灣白海豚,是如此珍貴而不能失去的。

我們的子孫應得我們的關心。”

--------------

Canadian singer-songwriter and long-time Taiwan resident Matthew Lien will be an honored guest at tonight's screening of THE COVE. Here's what he has to say about why he's coming:

“I am thrilled to attend the screening of "The Cove" in Taiwan.

For the first time in history, our children today are being born into the world with a global environmental crisis.

Last year, I became the father of a Taiwanese son. But I feel sad for him, because his Taiwan is facing a dismal future.

Here in Taiwan. my son's natural habitat is disappearing, pollution is destroying his beautiful ecosystems, and his ocean is becoming so acidic from CO2 that coral reefs can not survive.

But we -- the adults of today -- have time to make some important choices. One choice is whether we will save Taiwan's Pink Dolphins from extinction.

Thanks to documentaries like "The Cove", more people are becoming aware of the crisis facing our oceans. I hope showing this movie in Taiwan will help us decide that our children's Taiwan, and Taiwan Pink Dolhpins, are too precious to lose.

Our children deserve our concern.”

Matthew Lien

『藍色地球-我的海洋』2010城市游牧影展座談會



BLUE EARTH - OUR OCEAN: PANEL DISCUSSION
[for English, scroll down]

時間 TIME:Sat. 5/1 (六) 2-4pm
地點 PLACE:台北國際藝術村 (100台北市中正區北平東路7號)
Taipei Artist Village, 7 Beiping E. Rd, Taipei
報名:免費,請向台北藝術村報名 artistvillage@artistvillage.org
MAP / 地圖

與談人:資深環境紀錄工作者 柯金源
    動物社會研究會執行長 朱增宏
    台灣媽祖魚保育聯盟 甘宸宜

主持人:蠻野心足生態協會 王佳真

議題:

1. 海洋與台灣人

2. 從《血色海灣》看台灣鯨豚的處境

* 海生館的鯨豚從哪裡來?

保育人士努力救鯨豚,海生館卻鼓勵「獵捕」 : 全球海域每每發生鯨豚擱淺事件時,總有無數專業人士及義工投入救援,協助牠們回家與家人團聚,但同時卻有一群假學術之名的「商人、學者」,不斷迫害智慧極高、和人類同樣是哺乳動物的鯨豚,讓牠們遠離海洋家園,將牠們關進玻璃箱內,訓練牠們為人類進行「馬戲表演」。

* 台灣的極危險瀕臨絕種白海豚

媽祖魚(中華白海豚)是台灣海洋生態資源的重要指標,由於沿海環境日漸惡化,目前數量可能僅在60至90隻之間,已被國際自然保育聯盟IUCN列為瀕臨絕種的族群,每一隻白海豚的死亡都是台灣無可彌補的巨大損失。

3. 從《救鯊行動》看台灣的海鮮文化

* 魚翅文化背後的殘忍事實

世界自然保育聯盟(IUCN)有關鯊魚族群量的研究指出,現有111種鯊魚的生存已出現危機,如果人類持續過度捕撈漁業資源,2048年以後,人類將只剩水母可以食用。
魚翅係指鯊魚之背鰭、捕獲的鯊魚在割下魚鰭後,會將較無價值的魚身丟回海中,讓牠們在海裡慢慢流血、痛苦死亡,民眾根本無法確定所食用的魚翅,是屬於「全魚利用」還是以「活割魚鰭」方式取得...

* 最血腥的健康食品

台灣各大連鎖藥妝店及購物頻道大量行銷販售的海豹、海狗油和海狗鞭,全部來自被殘忍屠殺的野生小海豹。根據統計,2003~2009年間,台灣從加拿大輸入海洋哺乳類油脂(即海豹油)為431,364公斤,名列全球第4大、亞洲第3大;保守估計,台灣消費者近七年來等於間接屠殺了12萬隻美麗而無辜的海豹、海狗!

4. 保護我的海洋,如何行動?

* 動物社會研究會近期行動宣傳
* 媽祖魚保育聯盟近期行動宣傳



BLUE EARTH - OUR OCEAN: PANEL DISCUSSION

ADMISSION: Free
LANGUAGE: Chinese
REGISTER TO ATTEND: artistvillage@artistvillage.org

PANELISTS:
Ke Jin-yuan, nature photographer and filmmaker
Zhu Ceng-hong, EAST (Environment & Animal Society of Taiwan)
Gan Zhen-yi, Matsu's Fish Conservation Union

MODERATOR:
Janis Wang, Wild at Heart Legal Defense Association

ISSUES

1. Taiwanese and the ocean

2. 《THE COVE》and the predicament of dolphins in Taiwan.

* Where does the National Museum of Marine Biology & Aquarium get its dolphins?

While conservations work to protect dolphins and whales, the National Aquarium promotes dolphin roundups. Dolphin roundups like that documented in THE COVE are no doubt senselessly destructive, but they can continue because ocean parks all over the world continue to purchase dolphins from them. Also, what are the ethical issues involved in keeping dolphins in small tanks and forcing them to live out their lives performing circus tricks?

* Taiwan's critically endangered dolphins

The Indo-European humpback dolphin, locally known as "Matsu's fish," is an important indicator of the health of coastal ecosystems. At present, there may be as few as 60-90 of these dolphins remaining, and they have been listed as "critically endangered" by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). What can be done to save this species from extinction?

3. 《SHARKWATER》and Local Seafood Culture

* The dark side of shark's fin soup

Research by the IUCN on shark populations indicates that 111 species of sharks can now be considered "endangered." It has been said that if current rates of overfishing continue, by 2048, the only think left in the ocean to catch will be jellyfish. The problem with shark finning, is that while shark's fins are highly valuable, their meat is often considered worthless. So sharks are caught, de-finned and tossed back into the sea, thereby destroying a predator at the top of the ocean food chain and ruining ecosystems on which we all depend.

* Environmentally Unfriendly Health Food

Seal oil is available in nearly every pharmacy in Taiwan as well as numerous mass market retailers, and all of it comes from hideous seal slaughters. Between 2003 and 2009, Taiwan has imported 431,364 kilos of seal oil (mainly in caplet form), the 4th largest total in the world! During this seven year period, Taiwanese are estimated to be responsible for the deaths of 120,000 seals.

4. Protecting the Ocean: What can I do?

Representatives from EAST and Matsu's Fish Conservation Union will report on recent activities by their organizations and how people can make a difference either in their everyday lives or participate in conservation activities.

《牛糞傳奇》BULLSHIT

--> 購票 |BUY TICKET

跨國農企業到底有什麼問題?不僅讓糧價變得不穩,還掠取印度古老小麥品種,以生物剽竊、基因改造技術,讓種子也有了專利,迫使10多萬小農舉債而自殺!

紀錄片《牛糞傳奇》以印度知名的生態女性主義運動者、1993年另類諾貝爾獎得主范達娜˙席娃博士(Vandana Shiva)為主角;紀錄她長年對抗如孟山都(Monsanto)等跨國企業,並成立「九種基金會」(Navdanya),證明社區的「種子銀行」可以讓小農免於跨國企業掌控種子,甚至可以培育種子的多樣性,發展出能因應全球暖化的好品種。

Her opponents call her “The Green Killer”. They gave her “The Bullshit Award” for sustaining poverty. Time magazine says she is a hero of our times, an icon for youngsters all over the world. Vandana Shiva is an Indian environmental activist and nuclear physicist, and in this film she ventures out from her organic farm to do battle with the likes of Coca Cola and Monsanto, a huge American agri-tech company that tries to patent an ancient Indian strain of wheat.

《震撼主義》 THE SHOCK DOCTRINE
Matt Whitecross, Michael Winterbottom / UK/英國 / 2009 / 79min

資本主義是把利刃,刀鋒過處,無不鮮血直噴

如果你喜歡奧斯卡提名記錄片《絕望真相》,你更不可錯過這部由娜歐蜜‧克蘭Naomi Klein同名著作改編的紀錄片《極端資本教義派》。本紀錄片將帶著我們追蹤,美國政府如何操弄外交策略以圖利美國企業,從智利的皮諾切特政變到兩伊戰爭,極端資本教義派大刀過處,無處不是戰火孤魂;導彈、坦克夷平的是平民百姓對邪惡資本主義企業最後的心防和抵抗。作者克蘭筆下的「毀滅性資本主義」之惡行惡狀更在本紀錄片中盡顯無遺,必定會搖醒你那久被資本主義麻痺的良知。

This documentary is based on the book of the same name by Naomi Klein (No Logo), author, activist and noted critic of globalization. It outlines Klein’s concept of “disaster capitalism,” in which government use or even create disasters to give corporations greater power over normal citizens. Klein shows that the tactic of “shocking” populations into accepting extreme levels of privatization and corporate control is an active goal of American foreign policy. She traces this strategy’s disasterous results from Pinochet’s coup in Chile to the two Iraq wars and everything in between. If you liked The Corporation or An Inconvenient Truth, this is definitely a film for you.

許雅婷是一位住在芝加哥的台灣導演而她最新作品〈放心漫舞〉則在描述另一位與老年癡呆症搏鬥的年邁導演Chris隨著事件漸漸失去控制電影本身的架構也如同Chris的記憶力一樣變得愈來愈模糊也逐漸崩成碎片。〈少年心〉是一部出人意料,令人感動的故事,其他的影片則是奇幻的動畫及實驗短片。

Hsu Ya-ting is a Taiwanese filmmaker living in Chicago, and her latest short, MIND DANCE, depicts Chris, an aged filmmaker, struggling with the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. As reality slips out of his control, Chris’ memories become disorganized and the film itself literally breaks into fragments. MY HEART, MY SOUL surprised us as a touching and unexpectedly serious drama. The rest of the program consists of charming animations and video experiments.

許芳宜是第一位受邀至紐約Baryshnikov藝術中心駐村的亞洲舞者而這支影片記錄著他在當時工作的狀態。此片不僅僅帶來令人屏息的舞蹈同時也帶來許芳宜在工作室排舞時對此藝術的最高精神,許芳宜著實是台灣藝文界最有才華的藝術家之一。這支紀錄片將會以不同版本撥映讓我們更加貼近她的世界。

Sheu Fang-yi was the first Asian artist ever invited for a residency at the Baryshnikov Arts Center in New York, and this film documents her working process there in creating a new performance. The filming not only shows some arrestingly beautiful dancing, it also shows Sheu and the choreographer Bulareyaung Pagarlava starting from the blank canvas of the practice studio to choreograph a work of the highest art. Sheu is truly one of Taiwan’s most stunning creative talents, and this documentary – shown here in a brand new version – is up to the task of displaying her somatic genius and bringing us into her world.

〈搶救烏山頭水庫〉在講一個驚人的真實事件: 一個垃圾掩埋場公司危害到台灣重要的水庫之一。〈希望〉除了有馬英九總統友情客串之外我們也會呈現當年被莫拉克颱風的大水及土石流沖毀的小學重建。〈Silence〉是一部告訴我們何為報章雜誌報導好處的冰島短片,〈誰在乎真實〉則是在反諷G8高峰會,接著〈熱舞天堂〉帶來一個競選期間無家可歸的流浪漢穿梭在台北接頭的故事。節目將會由幾支大自然動畫做開場。

LET’S FIGHT FOR WATER is about a startlingly real issue: a landfill that threatens to contaminate one of Taiwan’s main mountain reservoirs. HOPE, guest starring president Ma Ying-jeou, meanwhile documents the reconstruction of an elementary school following the floods and mudslides of Typhoon Morokot. SILENCE is an Icelandic short that tells us what newspaper reporting is good for, and WHO CARES ABOUT THE REAL spoofs the G8. HEAVENLY DANCE follows a homeless man through Taipei at election time, and the program begins with a couple animations, NATURE and UNDERSTATEMENT.

在緬甸,加州聯合石油公司和法國道達爾石油公司為保護該公司的油管工程,僱用緬甸軍政府的軍隊,在油管區進行非人道行為:武力脅迫、施虐及強暴當地居民。緬甸人權民運人士卡索瓦Ka Hsaw Wa多次進出該地區,冒著生命危險,記錄下遭到政府加害的人民慘況和種族屠殺現場。他拍攝的影片間接促成美國史上第一起跨國控告人權侵害的訴訟案,這起官司纏訟將近十年後,卡索瓦以及他的族人們終於獲得平反。

This documentary investigates the human rights abuses associated with the construction of an oil pipeline in Burma funded by western oil companies, UNOCAL and TOTAL. It is also the story of the one-man mission of Burmese activist Ka Hsaw Wa, a former jungle warrior wanted by authorities both in Myanmar and Thailand. Ka risks his life in video-taped border crossings to document burned out villages and scenes of genocide, all funded by US oil companies and executed by the Myanmar’s junta government. His footage and reports result in a landmark court case in the US. It is the first time foreign nationals bring a class action lawsuit against US companies – and win!

〈揉〉是一部挺詭異的實驗動畫片,〈映〉挺像是一部改編自西班牙詩人Julio Cortazar作品的影片倘述孤寂酒精友誼及死亡,〈嘎轟!〉裡有蘋果,〈Greedy〉則有黑幫,〈Fuhrerbunker〉 似乎有希特勒。〈愛在森林邊境〉是一部關於二次大戰後,共產崛起期間,在馬來西亞的青春與愛情小品。

ROUE is experimental animation at its weirdest. THE REFLECTION is a sort of poem on loneliness, alcohol, friendship, death adopted from writing of Julio Cortazar. CAJON! has apples, GREEDY has gangsters, and FUHRERBUNKER has Hitler (sort of). CUL DE SAC FOREST is a wonderful period piece about youth and love in Malaysia just after World War II during communist uprisings.

《To Shoot an Elephant》
Alberto Arce, Mohammad Rujailah/西班牙/2009/113分鐘

近十年的這場巴勒斯坦居民和以色列士兵的衝突戰爭,仍然於加薩走廊持續進行著。

這部影片是數月前才由各國的激進份子發表的,他們試圖打破這場僵局,並企圖揭穿這些倚著和平口號,實為殘暴鎮壓的虛偽行動。在2008年12月與2009年一月份,以色列強制命令所有國外的救援組織和觀察員徹離加薩走廊,發動為期21天的「鑄鉛行動」轟炸。影片的製片者,也是轟炸中的倖存者,加入巴勒斯坦救護車的司機所組成的自願單位,他們參與以色列炸彈攻擊中那些危險、致命且不受人注目的人道救援任務。這是一個真實且正在進行的世界,一個讓製片者以及你我都無法容忍的世界。

The conflict in the Gaza Strip between Palestinian locals and the Israeli army has been going on for decades. This film was released only months ago by a group of international activists bent on finding a way through the impasse and holding up a mirror to atrocities committed in the name of “peace.” In December 2008 and January 2009, Israeli forces instructed all foreign aid organizations and observers to vacate Gaza for the 21-day bombardment of Operation Cast Lead. The filmmakers however remained, embedding themselves with a volunteer unit of Palestinian ambulance drivers, who go into the teeth of the Israel bombs and bullets on a deadly and thankless humanitarian mission. It is a situation, which the filmmakers find, is simply unacceptable.

電影 / FEATURE FILM:《Favela on Blast》
Wesley Pentz/2008/美國/巴西/80分鐘

位於巴西里約熱內盧的貧民窟深處,圍繞著八零年代美國節奏舞曲和傳統巴西森巴音樂的派對,正在悄悄舉行著。

本 片跟隨著國際知名DJ Wesley Pentz(或稱 Diplo, 你們還記得嗎?),冒險深入龍蛇雜處之處,探究音樂和舞蹈現象。Pentz是發現發現並推揚 "baile funk"(里約放克)音樂的功臣,並透過CD的發行在歐美各地推廣。這樣的音樂起源於暴力又貧困的環境,卻使的它更為裸露,存粹並直刺人心。這部紀錄片 試著以一個故事架構來探討情、愛、貧窮與自尊,並用里約熱內盧這些最被邊緣化的人物來作詮釋。當然還有英雄反派兩立的情結,以及那遏制不住的跳舞癮!

Deep in the slums (favelas) of Rio de Janeiro, a unique party scene is being built around remixes of 80s American dance beats and local Brazilian samba music. The documentary follows internationally acclaimed DJ, Wesley Pentz (aka Diplo) as he ventures into gangland territory, exploring both a music and dance phenomena. Pentz is now credited with discovering the genre of “baile funk,” and popularizing it in the US and Europe through CD releases. Born of one of the most violent and poorest places on earth, the music is raw and personal. This documentary tells stories of sex, love, poverty, and pride amongst Rio's most marginalized people. It follows heroes and villains, and the irresistible urge to dance.

瘋子?夢境?真實?這是〈羅宋湯〉! 〈阿鳳〉是關於一個妓女和一個小男孩的故事。〈COMPANY POLICY〉是在歐洲某處關於官僚體制及戰爭的諷刺短片。〈猜猜我是 誰?〉和緬甸黑道跟娼妓有關。然後我們有更多酷炫的動畫片,而且Miles Odonnol 會提醒我們看到救護車時要〈請讓開〉!

Psycho? Dream? Reality? It’s RUSSIAN SOUP. FENG is about a prostitute and a little boy, and COMPANY POLICY about bureaucracy and war – maybe somewhere in Europe. GUESS WHO I AM? is about Burmese hookers and gangsters. Then throw in a couple of really seriously cool animations like CLEAR SKIES IN MAY, and as Miles Odonnol would have us remember, when you see an ambulance, PLEASE MAKE WAY.

《Copyright Criminals》
Benjamin Franzen, Kembrew McCloud/2009/美國/54分鐘

取樣犯法了嗎? 一個由音樂家,製作人和製片所組成的卡司在這個記錄片中探討這議題,討論的範圍從放克界傳奇人物George Clinton到超脫樂團的製作人Steve Albini 到專利法律師。撇開眼前這嚴肅議題,這著實是部為音樂愛好著量身打造的紀錄片。片中參雜著Dj們播放著混音,混搭著影像,而這些剪輯過的片斷顯示出這些原創的音樂是如何的被取樣,剪接,再製,以符合新的音樂品味。最廣泛的應用實例就是James Brown的前鼓手Clyde Stubblefield在「Funky Drummer」中的獨奏,已經成為嘻哈史上最被常取樣的節奏。其他參與演出的的音樂人和音樂團體還有 DJ Qbert, 嘻哈樂團人民公敵<Public Enemy>,美國東岸嘻哈饒舌三人組De La Soul 和DJ Spooky (a.k.a. Paul D. Miller, a.k.a. That Subliminal Kid)…等等。

Is sampling a crime? In this documentary, the cast of musicians, producers and industry executives weighing in on the issue ranges from funk legend George Clinton to Nirvana’s producer Steve Albini to copyright lawyers. Despite the serious issue at hand, this is truly a doc for the music junkie. Scenes show DJs playing mixes and mashups, and these are dissected in split-screen montages to show how the original music is sampled, cut and refashioned to suit new tastes. One extensive thread is the case of Clyde Stubblefield, James Brown’s former drummer, whose drum solo on the tune “Funky Drummer” has become THE MOST SAMPLED beat in hip hop history. Other musicians and groups to appear include DJ Qbert, Public Enemy, De La Soul, Chibo Matto, Paul Miller aka DJ Spooky tha Subliminal Kid and many others.

在假如我是真的裡,一位外科醫生請電影工作者紀錄下他結束自己生命前的最後幾天因為他得了不治之症愛滋病但結局卻急轉直下出乎大家的預料,〈The Hobby〉一部同樣詭譎的法國片述說著如何習以承擔生活,〈極光〉就像環保主題的 「 樂一通(華納兔寶寶) 」 緊接著我們會連續播放兩部衝浪的影片。

In ON/OFF, a doctor tells a filmmaker he has AIDS and asks him to document his final days before he commits suicide, and then the film gets seriously weird. THE HOBBY, French and also bizarre, is about habituating to life as an undertaker. SKYLIGHT is like Looney Tunes for the eco movement. And then we have two killer surf vids as a segue to the feature.

救鯊行動
Rob Stewart/2006/加拿大/89分鐘

加拿大國際影展十大最佳影片,將為你爆料比鯊魚更兇殘的血‧腥‧兇‧手

導演羅勃‧史都華Rob Stewart熱愛潛水,穿梭在悠藍大海中讓他深深地愛上了兇猛而美麗的鯊魚,然而,他不禁為鯊魚垂淚,因為,每年一百萬頭鯊魚枉死造成全球鯊魚數量銳減,鯊魚存亡岌岌可危,導演史都華憑著一股對海洋的熱愛,決心找出殘殺鯊魚的真兇並記錄鯊魚兇面利齒背後的弱小與無助‧中華頂級料理,魚翅湯,原料來自鯊魚的背鰭,為滿足台港華人的口腹之慾,每年大量鯊魚遭不人道捕殺,許多甚至削去背鰭後被丟回海中,任其慘死,導演史都華深入調查,竟發現台灣黑道涉入其間,控制魚翅黑市,勢力遠至中美洲。為阻止非法捕殺,史都華加入海洋守護者協會,巡防遠洋非法捕鯨、獵鯊行為,為此,他會捲入怎樣的風暴之中?衝突一觸即發,搶救鯊魚總動員,開始!

Filmmaker Rob Stewart is a free diver and self-professed shark lover, who has seen shark populations worldwide decimated. The film, named one of “Canada’s Top 10” at the Toronto International Film Festival, estimates around 100 million sharks are being harvested each year, and many of them simply have their fins cut off and are thrown back into the ocean. Shark fins feed a growing trade in shark’s fin soup, a delicacy in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Taiwan and an illegal trade which Stewart discovers is being controlled by the Taiwanese mafia as far away as central America. In his quest to stop illegal shark fishing, he joins the crew of Sea Shepherd, and infamous activist group known for battling illegal fishing and whaling operations on the high seas. Together, they enter into dangerous confrontations at sea and even face jail in the courts of Costa Rica.

《台灣的極危險瀕臨絕種白海豚》
Taiwan’s Critically Endangered Dolphins
Christina MacFarquhar / 2010 / Taiwan/UK / 9min / En/Ch 英/中
這部影片為台灣極度瀕危的印太洋駝海豚(媽祖魚)所面臨的威脅及在地保育運動者遭逢的問題提供一個概觀。大規模的工業發展和密集的漁業行為已經改變了牠們的棲地,也使這個族群蒙受滅絕的危機。在數個重大開發案環伺而缺乏實際保育作為的當下,媽祖魚保育聯盟的陳秉亨提出了大哉問:「台灣到底有沒有要保護白海豚」?

For years, local activist groups have been fighting to save a critically endangered population of Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins in the Taiwan Strait. Industrial pollution is threatening to kill off these pink dolphins, known locally as “Matsu’s Fish.” This film, a Taiwan premier, asks the question: when will Taiwan start to take its environment seriously?

《The Cove》血色海灣
Louie Psihoyos/2009/美國/92分鐘

是今年2010奧斯卡最佳紀錄片得主,也同時贏得各大影展餘50多個獎項,包含日舞影展觀眾票選最佳紀錄片獎。本片令人憤慨的調查之旅將帶我們進入一個持續進行幾十年,世界上最令人髮指之一的綠色和平犯罪活動的危險海灣。

美國60年代當紅電視影集《飛寶》的海豚訓練師-瑞克•歐巴瑞Ric O'Barry帶領一個由社運份子和潛水精英所組成的團隊潛入日本和歌山縣太地町海灣,為揭發海豚圍捕真相,無視於警方的警告及肢體恐嚇。因為在這裡,每年有2萬3千隻的海豚遭到屠殺。這段日官方不斷反覆辯稱「為科學研究」並視為惡夢的鯨豚大屠殺的恐怖影片片段,目前已呈現給國際捕鯨委員會的當權者。

然而,此片之所以選擇將日本太地町的屠殺公諸於世,最大的擔憂及因素也是我們如何因過度漁獵而造成海洋生態滅絕。如同瑞克•歐巴瑞Ric O'Barry在片中所說:「若是我們無法改變什麼,那也不必理會其他更重要的事件了,因為根本就沒有希望。」

The Cove
Louie Psihoyos/2009/USA/92mins

The Cove won the 2010 Oscar for Best Documentary, in addition to over 50 other film festival awards, including Audience Choice for Best Documentary at Sundance. The film is an investigative thrill ride, leading us into a dangerous natural cove where one of the world’s worst environmental crimes has been taking place for decades. Ric O'Barry, the dolphin trainer from the TV show Flipper, leads a team of divers and activists who defy police warnings and physical threats to shed light on a dolphin roundup in Taiji, Japan, where 23,000 dolphins are slaughtered each year. Chilling footage from this annual slaughter is presented to the authorities at an International Whaling Commission, to the horror of Japanese officials who continue to defend the slaughter of whales for “scientific purposes.” The greater concern of the film, however, is how we are killing the oceans through overfishing. The reason they choose to make their point in Taiji, Japan is, as O’Barry says in the film, “If we can’t fix that, forget about the bigger issues. There’s no hope.”
