Warning: This video contains graphic images that may not be suitable for all
viewers. Dolphins are majestic creatures. And they're one of the smartest
animals on Earth. They're also prized catches. One little cove in Japan was
the end of the line for thousands. Some were sold to dolphin shows around the
world. But most were not so lucky. One man made it his mission to expose what
goes on in the cove. And it was made into a harrowing documentary.
