because they thought that greenpeace for a little bit too soft little bit too easy on their tactics so that really tells us something about how what sort of groups they are ok. and you were going to tell me about the communication i think on the oh yeah i mean one one of the ways the documentary builds tension is that it focuses on the communication between the two captains of the two sea shepherd vessels. and between the captain of the fund so it really helps in between those and that's also where a lot of the human lies in the documentary because this banish speaking captain is just so extraneous ahead of us maverick. it's more than a maverick really to forget forget that you're actually watching a documentary film now let's let's have a quick look at you brought us the second example push because this problem of portable housing is a problem that we're definitely seeing everywhere yeah affordable housing is a global problem cities around the world are all having the same problem and push examines that it's ultimately a very depressing situation. is she stands as a beacon of hope
