The Cove - A Must Watch Documentary

Topic :Environment
We urge you to watch a documentary called The Cove which is available to download from Brightwide for a mere £2.99. This is a very disturbing but brilliant account of the ill-treatment and the slaughter of dolphins in a small Japanese fishing village (Taiji).
Please watch this moving documentary and then join with us in taking action to stop the killing of dolphins in Japan. If we can spread the word around the world – and especially in Japan – we can expose the secret of Taiji and force the Japanese government to stop it.
Albert Woodfox has spent nearly all of the last 38 years in solitary confinement at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola. His case has brought protests from Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, who argue that Woodfox’s decades in lockdown constitute torture, and from a growing band of supporters, who believe that he was denied a fair trial. For more than ten years, he has been fighting for his release in the courts. But yesterday, a ruling by a federal appeals court ensured that for the forseeable future, Albert Woodfox will remain right where he has been for nearly four decades: in a 6 x 9 cell in the heart of America’s largest and most notorious prison.
