In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Racing Extinction is not the wokest documentary out there, but it checks enough boxes with its one-sided activism and lack of viewpoint diversity. If you’re looking for a nuanced take or respect for traditional values, you won’t find much here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

Racing Extinction largely focuses on environmental themes, sometimes employing emotionally charged storytelling that can blur the line between documentary reporting and activism. While not identity-focused, it arguably elevates its message above balanced investigation or nuanced characters, at times prioritizing impact over complexity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The film is mostly about environmental issues, but it clearly positions human consumption, industry, and aspects of modern life as the 'villains'. Traditional notions such as industrial progress, economic growth, and even dietary tradition are critiqued, albeit not with overt hostility toward family or religion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints, such as economic or scientific optimism, or even questioning mainstream climate narratives, are largely absent or framed negatively. The messaging is unified: urgent environmental activism is the only moral path, leaving little room for honest debate or dissenting voices.
