ECO-PIRATE THE STORY OF PAUL WATSON is a feature-length documentary
about a man on a mission to save the planet and its oceans. Part
Captain Nemo and part Grizzly Man, the film follows Watson as he
repeatedly flouts the law, so that he may apprehend what he sees as
the more serious lawbreakers; the illegal poachers of the world.
Using verité sequences shot aboard his ship as a framing device,
the documentary examines Watsons personal history as an activist
through archival footage and interviews, while revealing the impact
of this relentless pursuit on his personal life. From the genesis of
Greenpeace to sinking a pirate whaling ship off Portugal, and from
clashes with fisherman in the Galapagos to Watsons recent
headline-grabbing battles with the Japanese whaling fleet in
Antarctica, this film chronicles the extraordinary life of the most
controversial figure in the environmental movement—the heroics,
the ego, the urgency of the worlds original eco-pirate.
