The recently released documentary Seaspiracy directed by Ali Tabrizi is incredibly difficult to watch, yet I’d highly recommend it. It exposes the devastating impact of industrial fishing—legal and illegal—on the environment and sea life.

I felt sick watching it, but I persisted as I want to know what’s truly going on. I’m vegetarian and I don’t eat fish, and while I don’t like to enforce my views of what to eat and why, I believe this film would change a lot of people’s perspective if they truly knew what they were eating and the price paid for doing so.
