Very true. America has been created with Jewish money and they make sure they have control of their investment. I remember one of the presidents of Israel said something like "I don't care what American people think, I have the congress"

Yes, Israel would be getting lotsa cool points if they agreed to this. But highly unlikely. Their flag is a symbol that all the lands between two rivers is their land. I would be very surprised if they saddle anything less than this.

Because Jews would never agree to this. I'm sure Palastinians would agree.

Yes, and still are in most places. It's only the fanatics creating problem.

Yes, because only a total ban would help the stocks recover.

Another great work by Cove producers. You are our heroes. I hope they can charge all customers as well.

Why not? Who would believe anything they say, if they shot the movie in another place? Like the Midnight Express. This is not fictional, it's showing exactely what's happening at which place. Surely it's not in film makers interest to lie about this. They don't have to lie, it is happening.

Ric has offered to pay them the same money they are making from dolphin hunt. Their response was, "it's not a matter of money, dolphins are pests and eating the fish we are after"

They serve dolphin meat while people watch the dolphin show. They enjoy dolphins by watching them and eating them at the same time. Talking about the odd contrasts.

That to me sounds like very heroic.

bicultural,
You know how I know that it's a lie? Because it's not in the interest of filmmakers to lie about something like that. Plus, the don't need to show somewhere else because this is mostly happening in Taiji. I've seen the movie, have you? Unless someone points out which scene is not filmed in Taiji, it's a lie, they are liers.

Dolphins don't belong to them or anyone. They are killing what's dear to most of the world. Dolphins pass bu all other nations, before they get slaughtered in Taiji.

If any J director tried to film it, he would have been assulted badly by the Taiji local yakuza and fisherman (actually the same thing). If he filmed it, showing that they defied warnings and went into the prohibited area, they'd be arrested, film would be confiscated and they'd serve jail sentence. Just like the greenpeace two, who tried to expose large embasselment with J-whaling program. Don't you know that already?

Please give us an example of mispresentation in this movie. I don't believe there are any.

Activists wants to educate the J public by making this documentary. Do you know a better way how can a foreigner educate the J public? Would J listen anything coming from foreigners?

Yes he did. If you have seen the movie, or at least the teaser, you'd know. I'm starting to think that you don't even know why you're against the moviemakers.
