What people are saying
‘If a documentary can be both alarming and oddly reassuring, it's the gripping splash of cold cinematic water "Racing Extinction."‘
Joe Neumaier
‘The film is a captivating, sobering look at the world's endangered aquatic species, but it's also a frightening revelation of what methane and carbon are doing to the ocean.‘
Duane Byrge
