Featured reviews
I honestly cant remember when I last reviewed a movie / documentary, however, I fell in love with the message of this documentary. Its a story of whats happening to our planet. What we are doing to our own, our only home. A home we all share with other residents who have been turned into guests & slowly killed off one by one, by us.
Far more entertaining, saddening, thought provoking, guilt triggering & as if knowing our need / desire for a twist at the end, hope bringing & pasting a smile to our face at the end. The message is clear, we have been making mistakes, however, we still have time, together we all can bring a change, a change for happiness & place for every creature on this planet.
And to make the review a bit more personal, I want to share, how its affected me. I love bags, I actually love leather. As a geek, I really really care about my backpacks, shoulder bags etc. I actually have over 20 bags and keep on the lookout for expensive brands, unique designs etc. I have just deleted all the references / link to the sites. I have plenty, its time I used the damn bags, the twenty themselves will last me my lifetime.
Watch this movie, for your own knowledge, for the guests of this planet, for your children. Nevermind, just watch it for yourself.

Racing extinction is a documentary about how, human interference have directly or indirectly eliminated most of the species in recent years. It describes at this pace we will be eliminating 50% of the known species by 2050.
The documentary presents us with options how we can deal with this. It shows how mindset of people can be influenced for good and right. It gives us the message of lighting a candle instead cursing the darkness. At the end it is shown how pictures or a film can prove out beneficial in making the role of human to realize their responsibility.
Change is always resisted. People don't like change. We may be fault at many things, but it's never too late to correct ourselves and in this case, it is high time!

for all the cast; you are one of few respectful unique documentary movie makers. I knew the world it going straight to that dead zone; but I never know it is going with this speed even this acceleration.
but after all I realized that the earth (mother nature) she is not going to die. she will survive. she already survived for millions of years.
she will live, we won't. so I used this as a message subject. the message I sent to almost everyone I know to watch this important movie.
About the movie itself; here is what I think is the tiny bad thing is I felt like you (and I mean who handled the documentation itself) wanted to show too many things in very sort time from my prospective. This movie I think it can be in sequels of at least 5 parts. Of course you delivered the message so perfectly. but it wasn't a full one.

An incredible factual documentary, delving into the destruction that human beings are having on our precious planet.
The documentary is incredibly insightful! The creators have gone to great extent to backup their scientific facts.
This is a stunning documentary that will change the way you view your life and our fragile planet.
Like the documentary Black Fish that had a great effect and change on the way the public perceive animals in captive for human entertainment, Racing Extinction shines the same light but on the world over and the effect mankind is having on it......
THE WORLD MUST SEE THIS FILM 'TODAY'!
Congratulation to the Racing Extinction team and thank you. We need more people like you on this stunning world of ours!

Best documentary video. A must watch movie for all. We people must support to find a true solution for the future which this film show in which level we are living on.
This film gives the message about PAST in our PRESENT to know our FUTURE.
We must Predict, Prevent & Protect (PPP) the nature of the planet. Because our planet's nature so beautiful that we almost scratched to ugly. GOD gave us this Earth beautifully, we turn it to a large mass of garbage. Just TRY to share the message of this film to friends, families & neighbor. Be a part of doing GOOD.

- TriviaAnohni was one of two nominees for Best Original Song at the 2016 Academy Awards, along with composer David Lang for 'Simple Song #3' performed by Sumi Jo from the film 'Youth', who were not invited to perform their song during the awards broadcast. Because of this, Anohni boycotted the event, explaining on her website that she recognized the reason for the snub was because she 'might not sell advertising space', and that it felt like 'a sting of shame that reminded me of America's earliest affirmations of my inadequacy as a transperson' and represented 'a system of social oppression and diminished opportunities for transpeople'.

Louie Psihoyos: When you factor in everything, the clearing of the land for grazing, feeding, transporting, livestock causes more greenhouse gases than all the direct emissions from the entire transportation sector.
