Reverie Productions presents "DOLPHINS Minds in the Water"

Executive Produced & Directed by:
CHRISTOPHER CARSON

DOLPHINS Minds in the Water is an award-winning documentary film which reveals that dolphins are highly developed, incredibly intelligent and socially bonded marine mammals that deserve to be studied in their natural wild environment. This film was the first to examine the controversial issues of marine mammal captivity and the unnecessary slaughter of dolphins in commercial fishing operations. DOLPHINS Minds in the Water has screened in numerous countries worldwide and won dozens of international awards. It was screened at the opening ceremonies of the International Dolphin and Whale Conference in Hawaii.

FEATURING INTERVIEWS WITH:

Sam LaBudde - Recipient of the Goldman Award for Environmental Achievement. Sam is a research biologist, environmentalist and journalist working with Earth Island Institute. LaBudde made world news when he went "undercover" on board a Mexican Tuna boat and brought back haunting video footage of the brutal and unnecessary slaughter of thousands of dolphins in Tuna nets. This footage was the catalyst that allowed the public to finally know the truth about commercial tuna fishing operations and their "accidental" byproduct of killing dolphins. The public responded by demanding new "dolphin-safe" fishing techniques to be adopted by the fishing industry.

Ric O'Barry - Recipient of the United Nations Environmental Award. Ric is an anti-captivity activist with The Dolphin Project, and author of the books "Behind The Dolphin Smile" and "To Free A Dolphin." Ric was the original trainer of the dolphins for the television show "Flipper" in the 1960's until he realized that it was not ethical to capture dolphins from their wild environment and force them to live in small chlorinated tanks to do tricks for human amusement. O'Barry was one of the first individuals to rehabilitate and release captive dolphins back into the wild, something that was thought impossible until then.

Scott Trimingham - President and founder of Natureguard, an environmental group based in Southern California. Scott served as the West Coast Director of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society for nine years until he founded his own nonprofit environmental organization.

Brenda Killian - Associate Director of the International Marine Mammal Project. It is part of Brenda's job to travel to the different canneries owned and operated by the large tuna fishing companies to make sure they are complying with their "dolphin-safe" policy.
