Your Call 080509 Can a documentary save thousands of dolphins from slaughter?

Can a documentary save thousands of dolphins from slaughter? On the next Your Call we will speak with Louie Psihoyos, director of the new documentary The Cove. The Cove reveals an annual slaughter of tens of thousands of dolphins in a small town in Japan. It won the audience award at Sundance in 2009 and followed Psihoyos' extreme efforts to film a slaughter the Japanese government wanted to keep hidden. Send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org or join us live at 11 a.m. What are you doing to save dolphins? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.
