Seaspiracy: La pesca insostenible

This is a scary documentary for a mix of different reasons.

It's informative and shocking. The statistics that it gives really make you gasp.

You can tell that this film maker really does have a passion for this subject.

It's heartbreaking but not really in a way that will make you cry. More in a way that you will be in complete shock and disbelief. At the people who can do things like this.

I think the biggest issue I had with the movie is it is trying to fit an insane about of subjects into a documentary that runtime is an hour and twenty nine minutes. It's shoves much in that it has to constantly topic hop. I think it's interesting in a way because it shows how it is all connected but it can just make you feel a little bit untethered to the films I thought.

Other than that I think it was great and eye opening.

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.

This is a definite eye opener that will not be easy to digest. If you focus on the information being presented and not the filmmaking, then the film gets the job done. I thought some of the graphics and editing choices (especially the animated re-enactments) cheapened the overall feel.

Aside from that, this is another crucial viewing along with the producers other films 'Cowspiracy' and 'What The Health'. We're living in critical times when the consequences of our food choices no longer go unnoticed. You can make a difference simply by what you choose and choose not to eat each and every day.

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 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.
