So, 'Otters and the Exotic Pet Trade' really immerses you in a world that's both fascinating and kind of grim. The pacing is methodical, almost like a slow-moving river, but it picks up when diving into the darker sides of the trade. The documentary doesn’t just throw statistics at you; it humanizes the otters and the people involved — the gangsters, the dealers, and the passionate advocates. It has some striking visuals, too, not just of the otters but of the environments they’re taken from. And while the director is unknown, the storytelling feels raw and authentic, capturing the nuances of a complex issue. It’s the kind of film that lingers in your mind long after it ends.
