Blood Dolphins premieres August 27 2010 at 11 PM ET
In part one of Blood Dolphins, Ric and Lincoln revisit Taiji, Japan, scene of the annual slaughter of an estimated 2,300 dolphins. Despite the fallout and the criticism that Taiji received after The Cove's release, the O'Barry's are shocked to discover that the negative press has had little bearing on either attitudes or dolphin killings. Facing severe opposition, the O'Barry's push past the adversity to once more document activities at the tiny killing cove, which once a year, is scarlet infused with dolphin blood.
Parts two and three of Blood Dolphins accompanies the O'Barry's to the Solomon Islands. The Islands, located in the Southwest Pacific about 1,200 miles northeast of Australia, boast a legal dolphin trade and are viewed as the crossroads of the wild dolphin industry. Tribes here have hunted dolphins and used dolphin teeth as currency for years; three-quarters of its labor force is in fact engaged in subsistence farming and fishing.
