And another said: "If you didn't cry watching that whale scene in #Seaspiracy then you have no heart. Actually heartbroken to watch all of this."

A third added: "10 mins left until I finish watching #Seaspiracy and so far I had to take at least 10 breaks to scream at a wall and cry."

Viewers have been left shaken after watching the documentary as a whole, which also highlights some shocking truths about the widespread environmental destruction of the fishing industry on our oceans.

Netflix explains: "Filmmaker Ali Tabrizi initially set out to celebrate his beloved ocean, but instead found himself examining the harm that humans inflict upon the vulnerable seas.

"From plastics and fishing gear polluting the waters, to the irreparable damage of bottom trawling and by-catch, to illegal fishing and devastating hunting practices, humanity is wreaking havoc on marine life and, by extension, the entire planet.

"What Tabrizi ultimately uncovered not only challenges notions of sustainable fishing but will shock anyone who cares about the wonders of ocean life, as well as the future of the planet and our place on it."

The documentary is a truly heartbreaking, but vital watch.
