Seaspiracy: La pesca insostenible

This is such a great documentary, I wasn't expecting it to be. Very well made and such great points made. Horrendous impact on sealife.

I'm going to cut off seafood entirely from my diet and do my part to save the oceans.

The whole world needs to see this. Now. The global fishing industry is driving the climate and ecological emergency faster than any other and it is imperative the truth of this is brought to light. The filmmakers put themselves in very dangerous situations to document this - don't let them down!

I really like the way they expose the hypocrisy of those NGOs. I am always annoyed by those NGOs, especially the "green" NGOs, keep telling me "don't use plastic straws" kind of minor things yet obviously and intentionally ignore those bigger threats. Moreover those NGOs intentionally mislead people because they are probably funded by the related industries to conceal the real threats. How hypocrite and ironic is the world. This is not a perfect documentary film (maybe too few resources to make a series ), but this is by far the most meaningful documentary delivered by Netflix.

I thought this documentary was going to be all about the crimes and unethical conducts by the fishing industry. Instead, the film-makers have also illuminated the various non-profits and advocacy groups that are contributing to the destruction of the oceans through their neglect, obfuscation, or - worse - complicity. And governments, too.

This is an eye-opener. And quite depressing at the same time. There doesn't seem to be any good answer or solution, short of reducing consumption. Which in itself doesn't seem to very feasible, given that for many people seafood is an important part of their diet, and global population continues to grow. :(

The only sliver of hope is perhaps plant-based seafood products. That, like lab-grown meats, for example, seems to be the only realistic way to achieve sustainability. But, as the film ends with, that depends on all of us making a choice.

....money talks, just like in the film. If you can seriously eat fish without trying to moderate your consumption after watching this documentary, then you have no heart.
