For me, I have deeply appreciated the film The Cove for it was reaching out to the people to preserve the wild life. Recently, The Hump, one of the really trendy (and expensive – people pay a lot for raw fish!) sushi joints in Santa Monica was busted for selling Sei whale sushi. The sting was even carried out by the people that made The Cove – the dolphin-fishing documentary. Nonetheless, two thumbs up again to the winners.
