Introduction:
The Flim “Racing Extinction”, is a 94 minute documentary that is mainly about the mass extinction of species and the efforts from activists, scientist, and journalist. “Racing Extinction” was released in 2015 and was directed by Oscar-winning Louie Psihoyos. The publisher of this film was the Oceanic Preservation Society. It was written by Mark Monroe and produced by Fisher Stevens/ Olivia Ahnemann. The main reason why I am reviewing this film is because it relates to our oceanography class. Another reason is because I wanted learn more about how us humans are endangering our species and earth. I watched this movie three times, once on Hulu with a couple of my classmates and the other two times by myself.

In our modern day era our carbon dioxide levels have spiked the highest rate its ever been. Since the levels of the carbon dioxide have increased over the years it has absorbed into our ocean waters. This creates a carbonic acid in our water that kills the coral and all of the marine life. The greenhouse effect is another huge problem that is brought up in this film.

I really enjoyed this film because it was full of information that I would never think exist. Also, because it gave me a better understanding of how our generation is killing the species of our earth. At first the film was a little boring, but as it went on it got more and more interesting. All of the real life video that was captured made this film worthy for me. All of the nasty things like killing the whales with tarpons and selling their meat gave me a sense of urgency to try and help out. It made me want to reach out and inform more people about this serious problem. I felt that this film related to our class because a lot of the animals that are going extinct are marine animals and the main material we are learning about has to do with the ocean. This film covered a lot of great topics and went into good detail about each one. It covered the topics of whales, manta rays, sharks, climate change, coral decay, and finally the way people are trying to make a difference in a positive way. In my opinion, I felt that this documentary was just right when it comes to time duration. Many of the information in this movie were fit perfectly because it got straight to the point. I loved the title because it summarized the whole movie in two simple words. I thought that the title was accurate because us humans are literally the reason for racing extinction. The material in this film was just my speed,
