Dolphin activist Ric O'Barry will be in Bangkok this week for two screenings of the Oscar-winning 2009 documentary The Cove at the Foreign Correspondents Club of Thailand.
Produced by the Ocean Preservation Society, directed by Louis Psihoyhos and put together by a team of eco-activists, filmmakers and adventurers using hidden cameras, The Cove exposes the brutality of the dolphin roundup and massacre in a secluded cove in Taiji, Japan.
Taking center stage in the documentary, O'Barry is a former dolphin trainer who handled the dolphins that performed on the TV series Flipper. After one of the dolphins committed suicide in his arms, O'Barry switched to a life of dolphin activism, fighting against their captivity.
The showtimes are at 7.30 pm on Wednesday and Thursday, September 28 & 29, with a Q&A session by O'Barry. Admission is free but you should RSVP at info@lovewildlife.org or call (084) 977-2747
