Japanese female "Michael Moore"
THE JAPAN-BASHING, ANTI-WHALING DOCUMENTARY "THE COVE" WON AN ACADEMY AWARD IN 2010. BUT WAS IT ENTIRELY TRUTHFUL? THIS IS JAPAN'S FIRST ON-FILM RESPONSE TO THE COVE. AND MORE. Negative media coverage on the never-ending whaling issue prompted first-time documentary filmmaker Keiko Yagi to find out more about the topic. With no budget, limited experience in filmmaking, no fluency in English, but armed with a video camera and a strong desire to find out about the truth of the matter on whaling, Yagi started her research. What started out as a personal investigation triggered by childhood memories of whale dishes inevitably led her to the town of Taiji, the center of the whaling debate and the stage of THE COVE. What she found through her experiences there and elsewhere was a much bigger story than she had initially imagined. Behind THE COVE is director Keiko Yagi is attempt to present a comprehensive picture of the dolphin and whale hunting issues in Japan, which includes interviews of people on both sides of the whaling dispute, its sinister political side, what THE COVE could not offer, and a unique take on the topic.
