SocialVibe is proud to be sponsoring the official opening night of The Cove, this Friday, July 31 at 7:30pm at the Landmark Theatre in Los Angeles. To celebrate, we're giving away two free tickets to the first five LA-area members that send their full name and address to thecove@socialvibe.com.

Ben Stiller and Isabel Lucas will be giving a special introduction, and the film will be followed by a Q&A with the amazing Sea Shepherd captain Paul Watson from Whale Wars. Even if you don't win tickets, you can still buy them here.

This extraordinary and critically-acclaimed film from Participant Media follows a team of activists and filmmakers as they infiltrate a heavily-guarded cove in Taiji, Japan. In this remote village they witness and document activities deliberately being hidden from the public: More than 20,000 dolphins and porpoises are being slaughtered each year and their meat, containing toxic levels of mercury, is being sold as food in Japan, often times labeled as whale meat.

The majority of the world is not aware this is happening, as the Taiji cove is blocked off from the public. Cameras are not allowed inside and the media does not cover the story. It's critical that we get the word out in Japan. It's critical that we get the word out—everywhere. We believe that once the Japanese people know, they will demand change.

The Cove has already won several audience awards across the globe, including Sundance, SilverDocs and HotDocs.

If you're a supporter of saving the whales, protecting our ecosystems or animal rights in general, this is not a film you will want to miss. You can buy tickets to the opening night here. Check out the trailer below:
