‘Pirate for the Sea” is a bio­graph­i­cal film of Cap­tain Paul Wat­son, the youngest found­ing mem­ber of Green­peace Cana­da. He orga­nized ear­ly cam­paigns protest­ing the killing of seals, whales, and dol­phins. Green­peace eject­ed him for being too much of an activist. Start­ing his own orga­ni­za­tion, the Sea Shep­herd Con­ser­va­tion Soci­ety, he went on to sink ille­gal whal­ing ships, stopped Cana­di­an seal hunts for ten years, per­ma­nent­ly halt­ed seal­ing in British Isles, killing of dol­phins on Iki Island, Japan, etc. This doc­u­men­tary wit­ness­es his lat­est cam­paigns and explores the per­son­al and envi­ron­men­tal his­to­ry of this con­tro­ver­sial marine con­ser­va­tion­ist.
