Racing Extinction is an outstanding film that is enlightening and very entertaining. It discusses the current 6th mass extinction and the factors producing it: climate change, the international wildlife trade, and the contributions of diet and agriculture. It is a visually stunning documentary and is an inspiring affirmation to preserve life as we know it.
"Contrasting the ugliness of destruction with the beauty of its victims is the film’s core aesthetic."
