SUFB 1138: Seaspiracy - Trying To Solve A Complex Issue With A Simple Question

Published: March 29, 2021, 4 a.m.

Seaspiracy was released on Netflix last week and it was disappointing at best. It tried to "enlighten" viewers about overfishing with a simple question: "Can Fishing Ever Be Sustainable?" and it got the answer wrong because fishing is a complex issue in the Ocean. 

Lack of research and misleading interviews threw a number of great organizations under the bus and touted an organization notorious for using violence to get their results. 

I provide my review of this documentary in this episode.
