8.2 / 10

Scientists predict we may lose half the species on the planet by the end of the century. They believe we have entered the sixth major extinction event in Earth's history. Number five took out the dinosaurs. This era is called the Anthropocene, or 'Age of Man', because the evidence shows that humanity has sparked this catastrophic loss. We are the only ones who can stop it as well. The Oceanic Preservation Society, the group behind the Academy Award® winning film THE COVE, is back for "Racing Extinction". Along with some new innovators, OPS will bring a voice to the thousands of species on the very edge of life. An unlikely team of activists is out to expose the two worlds endangering species across the globe. The first threat to the wild comes from the international trade of wildlife. Bogus markets are being created at the expense of creatures who have survived on this planet for millions of years. The other threat is all around us, hiding in plain sight. There's a hidden world that ...

Earth Since Birth

A documentary is supposed to document and inform but this film it is just the opposite of what a documentary should be. Instead of focusing on one aspect, the documentary goes in circle presenting all the ways we as humans are managing to destroy the Earth's ecosystem. It presents points already made by several other documentaries but without stating anything new. It presents some valid points about what's wrong with the way we treat animals, and how we have screwed up at a global scale, but when it comes to point fingers at actual people, they prefer to blame some remote village of Indonesia where people hunt manta rays in order to survive as they find it difficult to grow plants in there. The message seems to be: the world is screwed but let's start fixing it by ruining some countryside people's livelihood. Killing manta rays is wrong, they are cute, they are innocent, but leaving people starve and live in poor conditions, that's fine. Who cares? In the same village, they show these fishermen going out fishing on their little boat, struggling to catch the manta, doing everything with their bare hands, and audience is supposed to feel sad? The commentator even tries to convince us that we should be disgusted by the fact that the fisherman kills the manta by sticking a long knife in its brain. Perhaps, for the wealthy western commentator, it is easier just to walk in the supermarket, buy his plastic-packaged minced meat of an animal that he never saw alive, doesn't know in what miserable conditions it lived and doesn't even know how it was killed. That hunting scene actually just makes one respecting more these fishermen. Shall we talk about the white guy that saves a poor manta ray caught into a fishnet or something? Oh yes, he is the big hero. So cheesy. Cheesy as the director being interviewed and crying in front of the camera. Actually that's not cheesy, that's just dishonest. I don't doubt that he was crying for real, but you are the director of the film for god sake. You should be honest enough to leave that part out. Why this kind of activist documentaries are always one sided? They find all the possible western people to interview to support their statement, but they cannot get some Asian experts to stand up for the poor people? If killing whales and dolphins is wrong, why before traveling to the East, they don't travel within the USA (Alaska for example) or Northern Europe? Perhaps because they speak English, are well educated, and it is going to be more difficult to sell their dishonest activism? When it comes to criticize the western society, they use some stock footage or they leave it to the commentator to describe how bad the western world is. But when it's about China or Indonesia, they use cheap tricks of hidden cameras to film poor and uneducated people that obviously don't have the ability to defend themselves with words as they are not able to debate and express their point of view with clarity. Why they don't go bother the big western corporations with hidden cameras and annoying interviews? In fact, why they don't even bother dubbing the interviewed Asian people but leave it to unreadable white subtitles on white background? Towards the end, the documentary turns out to be just an advertisement campaign for Tesla cars. And be clear, I support Tesla and would love to own one, but it just felt like Tesla came out of the blue. There was no point to put it in the film in my opinion. Environmental activism is a good thing. Especially with the filmmaking support. But when one does it with intellectual dishonesty, it does more harm than good. - @Thursday, February 22, 2018 6:28 PM

The worst part is where all these people watch the videos which took time, money and effort to make, and turn it as a form of movie entertainment. after the movie is over, they forget everything again. That's how bad we are at our psychology. - @Saturday, July 29, 2017 5:40 PM

Each and every country needs to be accountable when it comes to protecting the environment and preserving life-giving biodiversity. International and local sellers are created by international and local buyers. One of the best responses to the worst offenders (in addition to enormous enforced fines that, once collected, are given, with supervision, to ocean, water, land and forest preservation) is to lead by example and to constantly share solutions in short simple repeatable sharable forms, especially as these solutions relate to human health, that's when people start listening. Thank you for this film which should be shared far and wide. - @Tuesday, April 11, 2017 2:06 AM

Human is the worst animal on earth...We don't respect our nature,our roots,we became robots consumed by our technology,people think that we evolve but we are not evolving inside,we developed just the exterior,we eat with greed this earth that our childs will be not able to repair anything,Our mentality of being balanced with nature,with our nature is poisoned and we are not aware that we are destroing our home.Humanity is going down.I'm so sad. - @Tuesday, November 29, 2016 8:26 PM
