Alas, it's another heroic and remarkable story undone by muddled and middling moviemaking.

Washington Post

By tackling their stories - and what they've endured - head on, it makes its point, leaving a bad taste in your mouth about that discounted tuna at your neighborhood supermarket.

Rated: 3.5/4

Carlos Aguilar

Los Angeles Times

Being so single-mindedly focused on human suffering, the doc fails to dive deeper into the environmental consequences, the political stances of the countries where these activities occur, or even the intricacies of the Thai judicial system.
