New Showbiz Analysis

Fin functions mainly as an environmental argument rather than a study of human identity. Its strength lies in its critique of global industrialism and the redefinition of sharks as victims of exploitation. However, the film lacks explicit markers related to race, gender, or LGBTQ+ identities. There is limited information about the identities of the scientists and activists involved in the mission. Ultimately, the documentary achieves a moderate score by challenging economic hierarchies and advocating for underrepresented biological groups.
