CBC Docs: Dolphin Dealer (Oct 2008)
http://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/doczone/2008/dolphindealer/
More love for the CBC – this doc is about a Canadian named Christopher Porter who spend 15 years at the Vancouver Aquarium working with dolphins. He set up an export business to sell dolphins from the Solomon Islands to marine parks around the world. Given that tourists will pay $100 to swim with a dolphin, this is a highly lucrative venture and throughout the doc you see clips of happy, shrieking tourists doing just that. However, you have to wonder if there’s any conservation/environmental understanding being taken in, which is what Chris Porter would have you think. You can hardly believe a 5-star Dubai resort is an affordable or natural setting for the average person to encounter these incredible creatures. It’s the classic entrepreneur vs environmentalist theme but still worth a watch, especially as this one runs under 45 min and you can check it out online.

CBC or I must be getting old(er)
I feel like I’ve wasted 28 years of my life. Well, at least, 25. It’s only recently that I’ve discovered just how fantastic CBC can be. Newsworld docs might be a reason to keep my cable once my two month freebie is done.
Here’s a link to DocZone, where if you live in Canada, you can watch full length films online.
