Greetings!
Happy Independence Day!
Whether you
will (or did, depending on when you read
this!) spend the 4th of July weekend at home
enjoying a backyard BBQ with friends and
family, relaxing at your favorite vacation
spot or selling prints from your tent at an
art show - however you
celebrate our country's birthday, we at Fine
Print wish you a Happy Fourth of
July.
We'd like to share with you one
of our favorite Fourth of July quotes: "You
have to love a
nation that celebrates its independence every
July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and
soldiers who file by the White House in a
show of strength and muscle, but with family
picnics where kids throw Frisbies, the potato
salad gets iffy, and the flies die from
happiness. You may think you have overeaten,
but it is patriotism." - Erma Bombeck

What's Happening to the Taji Dolphins?
|
|
The Cove is an amazing, compelling - and sad
documentary about what is happening to
dolphins - all hidden from public eyes - in
Japanese town where "Flipper" is
celebrated.
When the film crew first get to Taji, Japan,
things look relatively normal. "But in a
remote, glistening cove, surrounded by barbed
wire and "Keep Out" signs, lies a dark
reality. It is here, under cover of night,
that the fishermen of Taiji, driven by a
multi-billion dollar dolphin entertainment
industry and an underhanded market for
mercury-tainted dolphin meat, engage in an
unseen hunt. The nature of what they do is so
chilling -- and the consequences are so
dangerous to human health -- they will go to
great lengths to halt anyone from seeing it."
(from the film synopsis)
The Cove is
an multiple award winning movie including the
2009 Audience Award at the Sundance Film
Festival. The Cove will be released
theatrically in the US mid summer, 2009. It
is now showing in select theaters around the
country.
