Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAnohni was one of two nominees for Best Original Song at the 2016 Academy Awards, along with composer David Lang for 'Simple Song #3' performed by Sumi Jo from the film 'Youth', who were not invited to perform their song during the awards broadcast. Because of this, Anohni boycotted the event, explaining on her website that she recognized the reason for the snub was because she 'might not sell advertising space', and that it felt like 'a sting of shame that reminded me of America's earliest affirmations of my inadequacy as a transperson' and represented 'a system of social oppression and diminished opportunities for transpeople'.
- Quotes
Louie Psihoyos: When you factor in everything, the clearing of the land for grazing, feeding, transporting, livestock causes more greenhouse gases than all the direct emissions from the entire transportation sector.

Featured review
This should be mandatory. Everybody obliged to watch this.
This should be a mandatory documentary in schools or on television. Everybody should be obliged to watch Racing Extinction. Not tomorrow but today. Even though I think it is already too late. Not that we could not change everything if everybody would act and think rationally. But that's the problem of our planet. Most people are driven by greed, possession, having everything as fast as possible, mass consumption etc... Nobody seems to care what the future will be for their children. I have none, and will never have any, but I'm still concerned about what we are doing to our planet. We humans are the parasite of the Earth. It could be reversed but I honestly have not much hope. Anyways, watch this, it's sometimes beautiful, sometimes very hard, but it's the truth. I cried like almost a third of the documentary, but it was worth watching it. I can only recommend this highly!
