The Giant Pacific Octopus

I love documentaries and I especially loved this one! I learned so many fun facts about the Giant Pacific Octopus while also being moved by the dedication of so many different organizations to protect these beautiful creatures!! I hope lots of people get the chance to watch this film!

Sometimes I feel like documentaries are hard and are very boring. In this case, it's extremely informational in all the right places - not too much, but not too little either. If you live in the Tacoma/Gig Harbor area I would recommend watching this movie to educate yourself and test your knowledge of our ocean & creatures! If you're a human being that has used plastic or ever littered I would also watch this eye-opening documentary as it touches on pollution. After watching, write a review! Spread this movie across Washington and let's see if we can make a difference! I feel very inspired to make a change after watching this documentary! Great job everyone!

I've always enjoyed documentaries. Whether it's history, sports, music, or Criminal Justice; I've always had interest in marine life. If you have that interest and have heard the tales about the PNW I highly recommend you watch this!

Saw this film at an early screening, it had a wonderful environmental message. It had some fun moments with concepts of years gone by, like octopus wrestling. The cinematography was well done, and the mood of mystery was drawn throughout.

I look forward to Hanna's next film.

This documentary starts with the legend of an actual GIANT octopus taking down a giant bridge in Tacoma Washington and ends with a celebration of humanity and deep respect for ocean life today. I learned so much about a creature I've always been curious about and the culture that surrounds it.

This film covers the entire history of our relationship with the octopus and other "sea monsters" of the 1800s. The more information they threw at me, the more questions I had, in a good way. There is obviously so much left to learn.

Trigger warning, there is a section that goes into a now illegal, barbaric sport of octopus wrestling. Knowing what we know now about the animal, this was shocking to learn about. Thankfully, the filmmakers reveal their stance on the issue fairly early on and we can all move forward as a more civilized species.
