‘Cove’ set for Itaewon screening, debate

The Cove, the 2010 Academy Award winner for best documentary, will be screened this Sunday at Roofers in Itaewon, Seoul, as part of the bar’s Counter Punch Cinema series.

The film was made by a group of activists, led by a dolphin trainer to a cove near Taijii, Japan to expose what really happens to dolphins that frequent Japanese waters.

The Counter Punch Cinema series covers films that explore social, economic and cultural issues, and a discussion follows each screening

The event runs from 6:30-9:30 p.m. and admission is free.

To get to there, leave Itaewon Station through Exit 3, walk straight and take the first right. Roofers is on the third floor opposite the Foreign Food Store.
