The film begins by introducing the small town of Taiji where the annual dolphin hunt takes place between September and March, and thousands of dolphins are killed each year. The movie exposes the brutality of the hunt, as dolphins are driven into a small cove and trapped there by nets. The hunters then select the dolphins they want to sell to marine parks and aquariums, and the rest are killed for their meat. | The film begins by introducing the small town of Taiji where the annual dolphin hunt takes place between September and March, and thousands of dolphins are killed each year.
