The Voice of the Dolphins

HARDY JONES' riveting three decades experience with dolphins opens a portal into another universe - a universe of intelligent, social and friendly creatures. We accompany Jones as he first discovers a friendly school of dolphins he will come to know personally. And we travel to Japan with the author as he fights to end the slaughter of dolphins for food and captivity. After studying the toxins that are threatening dolphins worldwide Jones is diagnosed with a form of blood cancer that is linked to toxic chemicals.

He has won Conservation Filmmaker of the Year from Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival, A Genesis Award, Explorer's Club Award and Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Wildlife Film Festival.

Advance Praise for 'The Voice of the Dolphins':


Every movement has its genesis, a point where an action seeds an awareness that blossoms into inspiration that evolves into a crusade. In the Seventies, filmmaker Hardy Jones began to focus his eye on the dolphins, in a journalistic odyssey that first exposed the atrocities at Iki and Taiji in Japan, giving birth to this global campaign whose voice has become viral, global and compelling. Hardy's legacy will be a future for these magnificent and intelligent living treasures of the sea. – CAPTAIN PAUL WATSON, founder Sea Shepherd Conservancy Society, Whale Wars.


Hardy Jones has written a book that takes us through the phenomenal, almost unimaginable, world of dolphins in the wild and his thirty-year efforts to protect dolphins from the brutal hand of dolphin hunters and ocean contamination. - TED DANSON, actor, member board of directors Oceana, co-founder BlueVoice.org.
