Ep 53 - Film Club - Seaspiracy

Discussion with Rosie and Cristina about the 2021 documentary Seaspiracy. We discuss its successes and failings as a piece of science communication or environmental education, including the pitfalls of using the conspiracy framing. We also share a few ideas for how teachers might make use of the film in their classes, or approach the various issues it raises.

 

You may want to watch the film first and think about:

• Whose views are being represented? Whose are being left out?
• How does it compare with other ocean documentaries?
