Antonio Saillant Interview with Director Megumi Sasaki Because of the nature of the topic I added this to all my Rock It Green Radio Platforms. http://rockitgreen.com But it's a production of Celebrity Spotlight Radio. A WHALE OF A TALE Taiji became the go-to destination and battleground for activists from around the world. FINE LINE MEDIA PRESENTS A WHALE OF A TALE In 2010, Taiji, a sleepy fishing town in Japan, suddenly found itself in the worldwide media spotlight. THE COVE, a documentary denouncing the town’s longstanding whale and dolphin hunting traditions, won an Academy Award and almost overnight, Taiji became the go-to destination and battleground for activists from around the world. Can a proud 400-year-old whaling tradition survive a tsunami of modern animal-rights activism and colliding forces of globalism vs. localism? A WHALE OF A TALE reveals the complex story behind the ongoing debate. Told through a wide range of characters including local fishermen, international activists and an American journalist (and long time Japanese resident), this powerful documentary unearths a deep divide in eastern and western thought about nature and wildlife and cultural sensitivity in the face of global activism. 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.
