Tokyo film festival decides to show 'The Cove'


TOKYO (AP): The Tokyo International Film Festival will show "The Cove," a documentary that depicts the slaughter of dolphins in Japan. But the decision was so last-minute the movie didn't make it into the official press package.

Tom Yoda, chairman of the annual festival, which opens Oct. 17, refused Wednesday to discuss how the decision came about, citing festival policy on screening decisions.
