      Audience Member A truly epic story that is sure to inspire and educate you! Paul Watson is a real life hero and this is a phenomenal movie about his life, his passion and his continual pursuit to save our oceans. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Simply breathtaking and I can honestly say now, that Paul Watson is a hero of mine! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Eco-pirate, Eco-terrorist, Eco-criminal! Whatever you wanna call him, but he is just a modern hero, a real hero. Paul watson and the sea shepherd are the only people doing something meaningful for the whales, dolphins, tuna, etc. Excellent documentary showing all the atrocities made just for business. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Well done Doc. about Paul Watson, covering his entire career of trying save wildlife, (with whales in particular) and all the trials and tribulations that has gone through. It pulls pretty heavily from another doc. that was done earlier, but also manages to get lots of interviews and footage that is new too. Paul Watson is an interesting guy, he is very self serving and egotistical, but that helps he do what he does, and I think what he does is important, so I hope he continues to fight the good fight as long as he can. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Great movie with an important message. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Of all the movies filmed about Paul Watson and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, this is one of the most honest portrayals. It offers a closer look at the life of Paul, his beginnings and his conservation efforts. Eco-Pirate is beautiful, it is touching, it angers you and it makes you want to make a difference.

      Sheri Linden Hollywood Reporter Admiring but hardly deifying, this portrait of an ecological warrior is compelling viewing -- as philosophical overview, character study and high-seas adventure. Apr 16, 2013 Full Review James Adams Globe and Mail For all its scenes of distress and slaughter, Eco-Pirate is often very beautiful. Rated: 3/4 Jul 27, 2011 Full Review National Post Rated: 3.5/4 Sep 22, 2011 Full Review Jim Slotek Jam! Movies In a world where it's still "just business" to destroy tomorrow for a buck today, there are a lot of people who embrace the outlaw. Eco-Pirate shows you why and lets you figure out just how huggable he really is. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 27, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews
