This movie targets Japan and is viewed by many people in many countries. It's very strange that it has not been shown in Japan.

Eh? I'm sure I read an article on here that it was shown in Japan, although in a limited way, and Japanese people were most definitely in the audience.
Perhaps it's a poor translation of "It's very strange that isn't in every damn cinema in Japan every damn day and that people aren't forced to watch it constantly."?
Moderator: The documentary was shown once at last year's Tokyo International Film Festival, but a theatrical release is still being negotiated.

I'm sure that many Japanese would be interested to see this film. I mean, I would guess that the average man in the street doesn't know about and doesn't support the slaughter of dolphins.

You'd be surprised what Japanese people tell you they know if you get them drunk. The rest of the day, they don't know about any bad stuff that happens. Like skinning fish alive so their sashimi can be fresh, but I guess that's OK because it's their culture?

Maybe no one wants to show it. Obviously we are not being given all the information.
