Comments Off on Commentary: “The Cove is a Total Failure”
Here’s a blog post from Ryan Cecil Smith (Hyogo-ken, Nishinomiya-shi, 2010) about his attempts to show the controversial documentary film The Cove to students in his town of various age ranges in an effort to foster discussion and reaction.

Here’s a quote from Ryan’s blog post:
“I think that there should be some reckoning by the makers of The Cove for how poorly the movie has been received in Japan. I’m really disappointed that the movie is targeted so far from a Japanese audience, even though the point of the movie is ostensibly to change a Japanese practice.”
Ryan is very interested in hearing reactions and comments from the JET and JET alumni communities as well as from any other readers. Please feel free to comment below.
