Racing Extinction (2015)

In the heart of the Anthropocene, the 'Age of Man', looms a crisis of unimaginable scale: we stand on the precipice of the planet's sixth major extinction event, an eventuality that could erase half of all species by the century's end. "Racing Extinction", masterminded by the Oscar-winning Oceanic Preservation Society, is a wake-up call to humanity, the catalysts and, potentially, the saviors of this impending disaster. Directed by the visionary Louie Psihoyos, whose previous work includes the acclaimed documentary 'The Cove', the film plunges into the shadowy realms of international wildlife trade and the clandestine activities of oil and gas behemoths. Psihoyos assembles a team of artists, activists, and innovators, employing cutting-edge technology to capture startling, never-before-seen imagery that pulls back the curtain on a world teetering on the brink of mass extinction. From the labyrinthine depths of illicit markets trading in endangered species, to the insidious environmental alterations powered by hidden industrial forces, "Racing Extinction" infiltrates, investigates, and illuminates. This unlikely band of eco-warriors is intent on revealing the dual threats endangering countless species worldwide and, in doing so, changing the way we perceive our world and our role within it. This is more than a film; it's a clarion call for change. It's an ambitious mission to spotlight humanity's devastating impact on the Earth, while simultaneously inspiring us to adopt the solutions that could ensure a thriving planet for future generations. The stakes are high, the threats are real, and the race is on. Can we prevent the Anthropocene from becoming the epoch of our planet's greatest loss?
