Released towards the end of March last month, Seaspiracy, a documentary about the environmental impact of the commercial fishing industry, has sparked heated reactions on social media.
Viewers have expressed their horror upon learning about the damage caused by these big industry marine companies, but, while the film has been applauded for raising awareness of the subject matter, it has also been criticized for adapting the narrative to suit its own agenda.
According to those who have reviewed the documentary, you can expect to see shocking allegations made against the commercial fishing industry, from global corruption to cover-ups, and even slavery.
While controversy rages on about claims made in the movie, it is garnering support from some influential celebrities the likes of Kourtney Kardashian, Florence Pugh, the Voice UK coach Anne-Marie and musician Bryan Adams.
Over 300,00 whales and dolphins are killed every year as a "bycatch" of industrial fishing - this is just one of the many eye-opening facts included in the documentary.
Seaspiracy is currently the third most popular movie on Netflix.
