The Center for Christian Bioethics presents a free screening of "The Cove" Wednesday, May 1, and Thursday, May 2, part of its continuing Ethics in Great Films series.
The film follows Ric O'Barry, a former dolphin trainer turned activist, to a cove near Taiji, Japan, where local fishermen capture wild dolphins for sale to aquariums and marine parks--and for slaughter for food.
"The Cove" won an Academy Award for best documentary in 2010, as well as numerous awards at international film festivals.
Both screenings will be held in Centennial Complex room 3113 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and will be followed by a brief discussion of the ethical issues raised by the film.
