Racing Extinction Documentary – Review. Change Starts With One Thing.
#StartWith1Thing – Is mankind causing a mass extinction event? From Oscar®-winning film director Louie Psihoyos (THE COVE) and producer Fisher Steven, Racing Extinction is one of the most visceral and gut wrenching documentaries I’ve seen in a long while. The brilliant undercover work by The Oceanic Preservation Society (OPS), and other dedicated and passionate activists like Shawn Heinrichs, Paul Hilton, Dr. Heather Kelly, and Charles Hambleton showcase the brutality of the black market trade for certain species; their investigative reporting is both awe inspiring and maddening. When I first heard about Racing Extinction, I originally thought it was about global warming and its effects on the planet. While there is mention of climate change and how the pollutants have destroyed our eco-system, Racing Extinction goes deeper.

Grimm – “Maiden Quest” Recap. Axes, Swords, and Golden Feathers.
Grimm writers do an excellent job of bringing something so old-fashioned into the modern day with the Weten Ogen Wesen tradition.

Each man must pull a gold Griffon feather to see who goes first.
