It was billed as a 'victory for the whales'. Last month's International Whaling Commission meeting in Korea had fended off Japan's push for a return to commercial whaling. A triumphant Australia had led the opposition. But Japan has warned that it is far from beaten. It insists that it will press ahead with plans to dramatically increase the number and species of whales it kills under the loophole of 'scientific research'. And in the fading minutes of the forum, Japanese representatives declared defiantly that they would not back off on commercial whaling. They would be back in greater force next year - with more votes from more pro-whaling countries. 'The reversal of history, the turning point, is soon to come,' one delegate told the meeting. The warning underlined Japan’s determination to grind out victory in a long-term campaign to return to full commercial whaling - even if that means coping with embarrassing setbacks and international odium along the way. At the heart of Japan's strategy is its courting of small, impoverished nations – mainly in the Pacific, the Caribbean and Africa – to win their support at the IWC. For years Japan has been accused by conservationists of bribing these minnow states for their pro-whaling votes. Rarely, however, have these accusations been backed by solid evidence. Japan has denied the charge. Now Four Corners can reveal the specific detail of some of the favours handed out to countries to sign up for IWC membership and to support Japan. In one case, an official letter has surfaced to show that Japan has been making payments to the IWC on one country’s behalf. In another case, a former IWC commissioner confirms that Japan has been paying all his country's IWC costs and associated expenses. In yet another, a disgusted politician tells how his country was bought off. 'I don't think the international legal community has yet come up with a term to describe this blatant purchasing of small country governments by Japan,' he tells Four Corners. In this report, filmed in the Pacific, the Caribbean and the lobbies of the IWC meeting in Korea, Four Corners also exposes the farcical rules of the IWC and how it is open to manipulation and abuse.

When six handline fishermen seize a Federal building in Nova Scotia and barricade themselves inside for 26 days, the Canadian government refuses to negotiate. These protestors say their unlikely journey from rednecks to radicals is part of a decades-long battle against corporate industrialization and environmental devastation. With scientists warning of a complete collapse of global fish stocks by 2048, "One More Dead Fish" cuts through a fog of government mismanagement and Orwellian misinformation with clarity and cutting-edge scientific analysis. Narrated by NPR’s Scott Simon and directed by Emmy-nominated filmmaker Stefan Forbes, this film bears witness to one of the most important environmental protests of the late 20th century.
