No screening yet of The Cove in Japan

MUMBAI: Looks like many Japanese do not agree with the ongoing dolphin hunts. Angry protesters with loudspeakers in their hands were the cause of two more theatres cancel screenings of The Cove in Japan.

The cancellations were made in the cities of Osaka and Tokyo when theatres showing the film downed their shutters after receiving angry phone calls. 

Unplugged, the distributor of the film, said that they were worried about protecting the safety of businesses nearby as well as of movie-going public.

The Academy Award-winning documentary depicts a dolphin hunt in a Japanese village.

Though The Cove has yet not been shown to the public, it has been shown at the Tokyo International Film Festival and other smaller screening opportunities.
