Antonio Saillant Interview with Director Megumi Sasaki, A Whale of a Tale.
Taiji became the go-to destination and battleground for activists from around the world.
FINE LINE MEDIA PRESENTS A WHALE OF A TALE
In 2010, Taiji, a sleepy fishing town in Japan, suddenly found itself in the worldwide media spotlight. THE COVE, a documentary denouncing the town’s longstanding whale and dolphin hunting traditions, won an Academy Award and almost overnight, Taiji became the go-to destination and battleground for activists from around the world.

A WHALE OF A TALE - OPENED THEATRICALLY IN NEW YORK AUG 17, 2018 WITH LA, SF AND NATIONAL RELEASE.
