Racing Extinction

In the wake of the current mass extinction of Earth's animal population, secret activist agencies risk their lives monitoring illegal trafficking of endangered species and use espionage techniques to bring down dealers violating conservation laws. This documentary by Louie Psihoyos (director of dolphin massacre expose The Cove) follows one agency on its maneuvers in China, where environmental protection statues are often flaunted in the open market. ~ Jennifer Lackman
