[quote]Seat yourself in front of the TV (or program your DVR) at 9 pm ET tonight because Racing Extinction, a documentary by Academy Award-winning director Louie Psihoyos, premieres on the Discovery Channel. I attended the film’s screening in New York a few weeks ago, and walked away impressed. The documentary builds upon the legacy Psihoyos began with The Cove, weaving suspense and beautiful visuals as a team of artists and activists go undercover to tell the stories of the species going extinct and those trying to protect them.[/quote]
[quote]Racing Extinction addresses two major causes of species extinction: climate change and the wildlife trade. Marine species are featured prominently for both, from tiny organisms whose shells are dissolving as a result of acidifying ocean water, to large whale sharks caught for their fins, meat and oil.[/quote]

[quote]Racing Extinction, the director's audacious and more epic-in-scope new film — airing worldwide today on the Discovery Channel, after having a brief theatrical run last September — does indeed widen the lens, documenting how human beings are permanently altering the geology of the planet, the chemistry of the ocean and makeup of the atmosphere. The film reveals oceans vacuumed of fish and suffocated by carbon dioxide; a wildlife black market (second only to drug trafficking in value); and Psiyohos' main concern, the rapid rate of animal and plant extinction. "I knew there were several species that risked going extinct in the oceans," he says, "but I thought it was more isolated. I didn't realize it was part of this much bigger story that people now refer to as the Anthropocene."[/quote][url]http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/news/how-racing-extinction-could-save-the-world-20151202[/url]

It aired yesterday, with an encore today. I wasn't able to get around to posting about it until now. I just watched it, and I figured it was too important to pass up. It will air again on Saturday on the Discovery Channel.

This is a good documentary, when I saw this I actually cried because some of the stuff with the animals touched me that deeply. I wish I would have known it was airing on Discovery though, I wanted to show it to somebody who pretty much needs to see it, but I missed it and the encore too. :(

Is there any way to watch the complete show online?
