Synopse
Every year, great numbers of dolphins are separated from their pods and sold to amusement parks worldwide. Here they grow lonely and, like the eponymous hero from "Flipper", they sometimes just cease to breathe and die. This experience Flipper's opened Richard O'Barry's eyes. He and director Psihoyos expose a gruesome massacre that 23,000 dolphins fall victim to every year in Taiji, Japan. The government turns ablind eye. A stirring documentary thriller.
