Born to Be Free

About This Movie

BORN TO BE FREE is quite the eye-opener, isn't it? This documentary doesn't just skim the surface; it dives deep into the murky waters of the wild sea mammal trade. Three free-diving journalists—Gaya, Tanya, and Julia—set out on this journey, and their grit shines through. The pace is methodical, drawing you into the dark corners of Russia where the treatment of these creatures is jaw-dropping. You can feel the urgency in their voices, the tension in their observations. It’s not flashy, but the raw footage and real-life stories make it visceral. The themes of freedom and exploitation resonate throughout, creating a weighty atmosphere that lingers long after. It’s a film that really makes you reflect on our relationship with nature.
