Racing Extinction documentary- review

 Award winning documentary Racing Extinction, directed by Louie Psihoyos was screened at the Booker T. Washington high school for performing and visual arts in Dallas tx in time for earth day. The film has been shown to various schools in the area as an effort to inform students of the hazardous actions humans are taking towards animals and the global climate in todays world.
 This documentary reveals many illegal actions against animals that are being held around the world, examples include the over hunting of sharks of all kinds, just to use their fins, as well as manta rays only for their gills. Many of this illegal use of animals is no exception in the U.S, this documentary reveals how a restaurant was using whale in their menus. The film exhibits raw images and courage from its producers and crew who went all their way into the cause, towards the end of the film they begin to accumulate all of the footage they have filmed of the animals in their habitats and team up with a technichal team and Tesla to create a video that is traveling all over the U.S, and is being projected onto large buildings, greatly attracting many people and informing them on the large issue that is human overconsumption of animals and environment.
