The Cove\u2019s <\/em>activist message is vital and makes this an important film to see. Add to this tremendous irony and suspense as the story unfolds, and you have a first-rate human drama. In a \u2018life is stranger than fiction\u2019 twist, O\u2019Barry is the trainer who introduced the public to dolphin\u2019s when he selected and trained the dolphin stars of the hit Sixties television series, Flipper.<\/em> O\u2019Barry has spent the last 35 years, by his own account, trying to undo the demand for, and perceived acceptability of dolphins as caged creatures for human entertainment, or more darkly, in our diet.<\/p>\n
