Another day, another depressing fucking documentary. Ugh. Produced by Discovery Channel, this documentary explores the various ways humans are causing a mass extinction event as well as ways to reverse the damage already done. More and more species of birds, amphibians, fish, and mammals are dying around the world from overfishing, climate change, deforestation, and ocean acidification. Conservationists across the globe are struggling to keep a minimum standard of biodiversity. This isn't as harrowing as The Cove, which fucked me up for days, but it's still depressing as hell to think about.
Apparently, there were way too many good documentaries this year for the Academy so they're sticking some into the Best Original Song category. I didn't like the song they picked -- "Manta Ray" -- as much as I liked the other original song for this film, "One Candle" with a vocal by Sia. I don't think it will win in either case. It's just not strong enough to compete with Sam Smith and Lady Gaga.
