DOCUMENTA MADRID will be the first in Spain to screen the Oscar award-winning documentary, The Cove

DOCUMENTA MADRID 10 will be screening,for the first time in Spain,The Cove, the controversial and widely acclaimed winner of the Oscar Award for Best Documentary. The director of The Cove, Louie Psihoyos, has won numerous awards; Audience Award at Sundance, Hot Docs, Silver Docs and the Documentary Festival of Amsterdam are just a few examples.   The Cove tells the story of a team of divers,activists, special effects experts, and the dolphin trainer Richard O’Barry, who leads the team into a small seaside town in Japan called Taiji, supposedly a dolphin refuge. O’Barry finds out that groups of local fishermen attack the animals and either beat them to death in a bloody ritual or capture them to be later sold to the entertainment industry.  

The environmental group, Greenpeace, has applauded the Oscar award for its contribution to the international fight for the conservation of marine creatures. The Cove will be making its commercial release in Spain on June 11th.
