Filmed entirely in Japan.
The story: In 1963, Richard OBarry had captured 6 dolphins.
Soon he began training the dolphins to be the stars of the popular tv program 'Flipper'.
Richard was a very popular and successful dolphin trainer who held a bond to the dolphins he trained for a long 10 years.
But one day, all that changed.
Richard's thinking changed as he began thinking dolphins did not belong in captivity.
For the next 30 plus years, Richard dedicated his life to freeing dolphins from captivity.
While doing so, Richard stumbled upon the horrific situation in Taiji, Japan.
Not known to most residents of Japan is the yearly slaughter of hundreds of dolphins from September to March , which is a huge problem as well as a danger to peoples health.
Richard believes that to expose this cruel and unnecessary secret horror to the world is a chance at changing it.
