It will not make you feel happy, it will make you sad. You won't feel good, you will feel angered! However if you live your life in the sea as I do, you owe it to the ocean to watch this and to do your best to try and protect it!

The movie is guaranteed to open your eyes to several issues that you probably never even thought of. I know that I was blown away. I don't want to reveal too much about the movie because I want you to see it for yourself. I will warn you that there is some disturbingly graphic scenes. I almost felt as if I was watching my beloved dog Snoh, being murdered. What is happening over there is an atrocity! Stand up tell the world this is not OK! We as human beings have to be better than this!!
Thank you to everyone who risked so much to make this documentary!! I would like everyone who reads this to watch the movie and write back to me and discuss how it made you feel. I got the movie from Netflix, I am sure you can find it in any video store or Redbox. Please watch this video and tell the world what you think! THIS IS IMPORTANT, WATCH THE MOVIE AND YOU WILL SEE WHY!!!
