“Young’s film is absorbing, politically and ecologically informative, nightmarish, and excellent, albeit disturbing, cinema”.
Sam Edwards, Waikato Times, 8 September 2012

“I hope you are inspired by this movie”.
John Kerry, US Secretary of State

“Peter Young’s ravishing footage lends emotive force to his detailed account of the case against fishing Antarctic waters”.
Bill Gosden, 2012 New Zealand International Film Festival

“A frightening omen of our planet’s future… told with truth, humour and brittle, ephemeral beauty”.
Melenie Parkers, Yahoo Entertainment NZ, 2 October 2012

The Last Ocean is a powerful statement about humanity’s urge to chase resources over every inch of the Earth.”
