"Eco-Pirate" tells the story of a man on a mission to save the planet and its oceans. The film follows professional radical ecologist, Captain Paul Watson as he repeatedly flouts the law, so that he may apprehend what he sees as the more serious law-breakers: the illegal poachers of the world. Using verité sequences shot aboard his ship as a framing device, the documentary examines Watson's personal history as an activist through archival footage and interviews, while revealing the impact of this relentless pursuit on his personal life. From the genesis of Greenpeace to sinking a pirate whaling ship off Portugal, and from clashes with fisherman in the Galapagos to Watson's recent headline-grabbing battles with the Japanese whaling fleet in Antarctica, the film chronicles the extraordinary life of the most controversial figure in the environmental movement; the heroics, the ego, the urgency of the world's original eco-pirate.
Leave your thoughts about Eco-Pirate: The Story of Paul Watson.
| Globe and MailJames AdamsFor all its scenes of distress and slaughter, Eco-Pirate is often very beautiful. |
| Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenAdmiring but hardly deifying, this portrait of an ecological warrior is compelling viewing -- as philosophical overview, character study and high-seas adventure. |
| User ReviewKristal CThis riveting doc is a perfect mix of educational content, activism and heart-stopping, action-filled footage. Paul Watson is a hero who may use tactics not everyone agrees with, but still manages to get the desired results. The world is a better place because of people like him. Trish Dolman has done an amazing job telling this complicated man's story while interweaving a narrative about the dawn of the environmental movement. Super incredible. |
| User ReviewCody COf all the movies filmed about Paul Watson and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, this is one of the most honest portrayals. It offers a closer look at the life of Paul, his beginnings and his conservation efforts. Eco-Pirate is beautiful, it is touching, it angers you and it makes you want to make a difference. |
| User ReviewMauricio OEco-pirate, Eco-terrorist, Eco-criminal! Whatever you wanna call him, but he is just a modern hero, a real hero. Paul watson and the sea shepherd are the only people doing something meaningful for the whales, dolphins, tuna, etc. Excellent documentary showing all the atrocities made just for business. |
| User ReviewJames HSimply breathtaking and I can honestly say now, that Paul Watson is a hero of mine! |
| User ReviewGigi SA truly epic story that is sure to inspire and educate you! Paul Watson is a real life hero and this is a phenomenal movie about his life, his passion and his continual pursuit to save our oceans. |
| User ReviewMesieur TAn insightful look into the dark world of whaling and what one "vigilante" is doing to stop it. |
| User ReviewPeter PWell done Doc. about Paul Watson, covering his entire career of trying save wildlife, (with whales in particular) and all the trials and tribulations that has gone through. It pulls pretty heavily from another doc. that was done earlier, but also manages to get lots of interviews and footage that is new too. Paul Watson is an interesting guy, he is very self serving and egotistical, but that helps he do what he does, and I think what he does is important, so I hope he continues to fight the good fight as long as he can. |
| User ReviewJohn BA fascinating take on the active vs. passive resistance approach to environmentalism and quite frankly any issue for which individuals push for change. The personally flawed Watson's approach proves to be the more effective. I wonder what Bob Hunter would think about seeing his daughter fly to Watson's side. Very interesting. |
