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, part Grizzly Man, the film follows Watson apprehending what he sees as law-breakers – the illegal poachers of the world.

From the genesis of Greenpeace to the sinking of a pirate whaling ship off Portugal, from clashes with fishermen in the Galapagos region to Watson’s recent headline-grabbing battle with the Japanese whaling fleet in Antarctica, this documentary chronicles the extraordinary life of one of the most controversial figures in the environmental movement.

Come along to the film and talk to the volunteers about Sea Shepherd, becoming a volutneer and our work defending, protecting and conserving Ocean Life, World Wide.
