10/10
A really great documentary highlighting problems not much addressed.

When it starts out with whaling and plastics, something which everyone knew was bad but not really delve deep into it, what I didn't expect was that the documentary really was about how unregulated the sea really is, with the injustices and organised crimes related to it.

It provides concise analysis of how the fishing industry is causing huge environmental and ethical problems, during the process exposing hypocrisies of so-called "environmental organisations" that not only did little to help, but have conflict of interests with the fishing industry.

It explains how the fishing industry is related to global injustices, including organized crime, slave labour, human trafficking and global unequal distribution of resources.

Showing how ineffective current measures and policies are, as well as the difficulties of enforcing maritime law and order, it seems that the best thing one ethical individual can do is to stop eating fish.

Great documentary, thank you so much for the crew and all people working to right these wrongs.
