Trailer
Believing that images can stimulate empathy and change people, director Louie Psihoyos (who won the Oscar for best documentary for The Cove) teamed up with a group of activists, scientists, nature photographers and inventors in order to draw attention to the dangers the human kind faces. The film casts a light on a series of secret operations that reveal a terrible black market that trades marine animals threatened with extinction, and the release of methane and carbon dioxide in the ocean that will soon have disastrous consequences. In competition at the Sundance Film Festival 2015.
