GREEN SCREEN PRESENTS ACADEMY AWARD WINNER FOR BEST DOCUMENTARY OF 2009 “THE COVE”

Green Screen, a free environmental film series from Green Oxford, the Oxford I.C.C.W.G, and the Oxford Community Arts Center, will present “The Cove”, on Wednesday, Feb 8th at 7:00 pm. 

Academy Award Winner for Best Documentary of 2009, “The Cove”   follows an elite team of activists, filmmakers and free divers as they embark on a covert mission to penetrate a remote and hidden cove, shining a light on a dark and deadly secret. The result is a provocative mix of investigative journalism, eco-adventure and arresting imagery, adding up to an unforgettable story that has inspired audiences worldwide to action. A group of activists, led by renowned dolphin trainer Ric O'Barry, infiltrate a cove
near Taijii, Japan to expose both a shocking instance of animal abuse and a serious threat to human health.

Green Screen presents films on the second Wednesday of each month about the science, art, politics and spirituality of the natural environment that educate, amuse, motivate and inspire.

The Oxford Community Arts Center is located at 10 South College Avenue, Oxford, Ohio.  For additional information, visit our website at http://oxarts.org.  


NOTE: This is not a child friendly film.  Graphic scenes of the slaughter of dolphins are shown
