Seaspiracy

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.

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.

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.

Was surprised by the role of non-profits in this horrendous sea fishing crime. All areas of our lives seem to be riddled by the same issues of greed and fraud

But I do think this is one of the best films about our work and the issues presented I've ever seen. I gave it 10 stars because I think it presented well, stayed on topic and pointed out the things hard to hear but without malice. Great "first person" viewpoint too.
