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.

Scientists predict that the human footprint on the planet may cause the loss of half of the world’s species by the end of the century. They believe we have entered the sixth major extinction in Earth’s history, following the fifth great extinction which took out the dinosaurs. Our era is called the Anthropocene, or “Age of Man,” because evidence shows that humanity has sparked a cataclysmic change of the world’s natural environment and animal life. Yet, we are the only ones who can stop the change we have created.
