Seaspiracy

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
