Louie Psihoyos’s “The Cove” was a shuttering documentary, which painted the whaling practices of the Taiji village in the bleakest of colors, particularly through one of the scenes close to the ending, that showed the fishermen butchering tens of dolphins after having trapped them in a small cove. Its impact was so enormous, that the documentary received an Oscar and turned world interest towards the fishing village and its inhabitants. However, it was also a source of great controversy, particularly regarding the portrayal of the Japanese people. Megumi Sasaki’s purpose was to mend this “injustice” by portraying the historic and material conditions that contributed to local whaling practice and in general, to present the other side in this matter.
“A Whale of A Tale” will open theatrically in New York on Friday, August 17 (The Quad) and Los Angeles on Friday, August 24 (Laemmle Music Hall) with a nationwide release to follow.
