An Internet service company will show “The Cove” free of charge Friday and invite public comment after theaters canceled screenings in Japan due to nationalist opposition to the film’s depiction of a dolphin hunt. Niwango Inc., which shows streaming video on the Internet , said Thursday it’s inviting people to write opinions via Twitter and e-mail for an open exchange of views on the Oscar-winning documentary that shows the annual hunt in Taiji village.
About 20 theaters in Japan had planned to show the film but canceled, one by one, after protesters made threatening phone calls and screamed slogans outside the distributor’s offices.
