A documentary examining the Great Lakes elaborate ecosystem and the threat posed by climate change and pollution (hello Detroit). Hmmm why do 50% of beluga whales have cancer? Lets go back along the food chain and up the river to find out. Lets get horrified, scared and depressed by what we see.
Some beautiful scenery here but mostly this just depressed the hell out of me. Why am I even bothering to recycle my meager tin cans & milk jugs when big companies are devastating the land and water and places like Chicago are still pumping their sewage into the waterways (you can't even touch the water there).
Frustrating and well done documentary with some cool little graphics of carcinogens floating about and explained in a Jurassic Park (cartoon) sort of way. 08.13
