Seaspiracy is a thought-provoking documentary directed by and starring AliTabrizi that delves into the pressing environmental issues plaguing our oceans. The documentary comes from the same people behind the award-winning documentary Cowspiracy released in 2014.
Leaves no stone unturned. The film sheds light on the devastating effects of plastic pollution, ghost nets, overfishing, and illegal fishing. These practices have caused an alarming decline in shark, dolphin, sea turtle, and whale populations, which are keeping the oceans and seas balanced.
The Independent has described the documentary as “a shocking indictment of the commercial fishing industry” with incidents such as the horrific killing of dolphins in Japan for simply eating too many fish.
One of the film’s main arguments is that environmental organizations have failed to address the larger issue of plastic waste and the devastating effects of fishing practices. It suggests that these organizations may serve as a means of distraction, diverting attention from the environmental consequences of fishing and the underlying corruption within the industry.
Seaspiracy takes you on a global journey, as you will see the “Taiji dolphin drive hunt in Japan, fish markets in Thailand and China, farms in Scotland, and coats in West Africa”.
