About this movie

“They have thrown four bombs at this vessel. Do you understand? Four bombs… Hurry up!’ A number of frantic international reporters on board the Sea Shepherd desperately call on the US authorities to take action before it’s too late. For Paul Watson it’s retaliation for the sinking of two Norwegian whaling ships the year before. “I understand you are going to fire on our ship”, he says calmly amid the chaos. After mines are thrown and cannons fired, a gigantic steel vessel rams straight into its bow in the hope of finally sinking his ship.

UN resolutions clearly state that if national agencies do not enforce a regulation set forth then individuals or groups are invited to do so. “We are vigilantes but that’s only because the US government, the Canadian government don’t seem to have the courage to go out there and uphold these treaties and laws themselves”, he insists.

Relying on public relations and global scrutiny, Paul Watson and his eclectic international crew - ‘ranging from a teenage dropout to a marine biologist’ – continue a lifelong mission to do what he believes is the neglected job of the world’s navies. “The time for talk is over”.
