Seaspiracy,
When dolphins and whales die, the ocean dies. And when the ocean dies, the earth dies. And if the Earth....
And what makes those dolphins and whales die? Documentary maker Ali Tabrizi investigates. Seaspiracy (89 min.) is the repercussions of a quest, which soon puts him on the trail of international fisheries. It deliberately, through overfishing, and unconsciously, through by-catch and harmful plastic nets, diluting the world's underwater population from. All kinds of animal species threaten to die out. And that is just the beginning of the abuses and hypocrisy that Tabrizi, with or without hidden cameras, finds out.
In all corners of the world, he draws the misery with a sense of drama. The filmmaker supports his argument with an impressive amount of figures, data and statistics, lights up with all kinds of related thinkers and organisations, and seeks confrontation with representatives of the fishing industry and interest groups trying to regulate them. Because the predicate 'sustainable fish', say it yourself, that does not represent any kind of pity? The responsible club doesn't refuse to appear before Tabrizi's camera for nothing.
Seaspiracy is a passionate pamphlet to eat less - or simply: no - fish. A film, which also tries to bring that ideal to a large audience. Such assumptions usually do not allow too much subtlety and nuance. A complex global issue is reduced in this slick film to an epic battle between heroes and villains over the fate of the earth. It is contained in dramatic images, accompanied by swelling music and works towards a solid apotheosis. And in conclusion, of course, a genuine call to action. To everyone who is in the right mind with the seas and oceans.
