Killers of the Sea - 1937

When is a documentary not a documentary? Amber and Mike are not certain that this movie is what it is purported to be. Supposedly a movie about a man who is tasked with protecting the fishing industry, it is actually a look into the culture of animal cruelty. A ship captain and his crew take to the Gulf of Mexico to find “Killers of the Sea” from the title, but it’s actually they who do all of the killing in this bizarre movie from 1937.
