 | ECO-PIRATE: THE STORY OF PAUL WATSON is a feature-length documentary
about a man on a mission to save the planet and its oceans. Part Captain Nemo,
part Grizzly Man, the film follows Watson in the act 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. From the genesis of Greenpeace to the sinking
of a pirate whaling ship off Portugal, from clashes with fisherman in the
Galapagos to Watson’s recent headline-grabbing battles with the Japanese
whaling fleet in Antarctica, this documentary chronicles the extraordinary life of
one of the most controversial figures in the environmental movement. | |
