I just finished watching Racing Extinction. It did have some good points and even touched a small bit on animal agriculture, but it totally missed veganism as the solution to stopping species extinction. Though, I give the filmmakers a plus for the very amazing underwater cinematography, many of the featured guests called animals "its" and "things". And there is a confusing mixed message and no solution to the problem. Because the message is so muddled, when people finish watching the film, it leaves them feeling depressed with no hope for the future. We need to understand that animal agriculture is the problem, and the solution is to be vegan. That is what they entirely missed.

Racing Extiction, as the title clearly suggest, is about human activities that started at some point ad have made possible for species thriving for centuries to disappear in just a couple of years.This film is an eye opening for everyone who is living on this planet.The crew were not only involved in documenting some serious vile human activities, but they were also involved in more important role like educating people about the consequences of their actions.Majority of us blame automobiles for the increasing pollution these days, but this film takes you to places where you might question the food we eat: Milk, Cheese, etc.. As shown in the movie, the way we have started consuming dairy products has led to increased demand for them, and in turn, has led to more cows, buffalo which in turn gives out methane, a gas more potent than Carbon Dioxide. Carbon Dioxide can cause serious damage to sea life.It is sad and overwhelming at some points. But very inspirational. This documentary should be shown in every school and college.If you haven't seen this film yet, watch it. It will be worth your time and money.

I honestly cant remember when I last reviewed a movie / documentary, however, I fell in love with the message of this documentary. Its a story of whats happening to our planet. What we are doing to our own, our only home. A home we all share with other residents who have been turned into guests & slowly killed off one by one, by us.Far more entertaining, saddening, thought provoking, guilt triggering & as if knowing our need / desire for a twist at the end, hope bringing & pasting a smile to our face at the end. The message is clear, we have been making mistakes, however, we still have time, together we all can bring a change, a change for happiness & place for every creature on this planet.And to make the review a bit more personal, I want to share, how its affected me. I love bags, I actually love leather. As a geek, I really really care about my backpacks, shoulder bags etc. I actually have over 20 bags and keep on the lookout for expensive brands, unique designs etc. I have just deleted all the references / link to the sites. I have plenty, its time I used the damn bags, the twenty themselves will last me my lifetime.Watch this movie, for your own knowledge, for the guests of this planet, for your children. Nevermind, just watch it for yourself.

This wild and cleverly produced documentary is going to take you places and bring tears to your eyes - not once, but on several occasions. There's also a scientific twist, offering an intriguing insight as to how Earth's atmosphere and it's oceans have changed over the many millions of years due to biological evolution, natural events, human interference, and what that could mean for the future.Indeed, there is a strong focus on protecting endangered species both on land and on sea, however don't mistake this for an average "save the whales" documentary where one flicks over the channel when the end credits roll. This documentary will stir up a rather different emotion that presents a sense of empowerment on a level never experienced before.The build up to the finale was superb; to coin a phrase, "The icing on the cake."If you have ninety minutes spare to watch Racing Extinction, it will be ninety minutes well spent.
