Mermaids: The Body Found (2011)
A story that imagines how these real-world phenomena may be related. In this story, startling amateur video and photographic evidence, as well as additional audio recordings, suggests whales weren’t the only creatures affected by the Navy’s sonar. The film follows the two scientists who tracked the whale beachings for years and delivers first-hand, on-camera accounts of what they claim to have discovered in the aftermath of one particular beaching. Their story is nothing less than fantastical: they claim to have found the remains of a mermaid.

It is a performances centric movie
There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
I enjoyed watching this program (several time) on both Animal Planet and Discovery Channel. I admittedly didn't realize it was completely fake untill I saw it on the snopes website. I do not think it should have been aired on channels that provide legit documentaries. It belongs on the syfy network or something to that degree because it is not a real documentary. It has real scientific history in it, but all the mermaid body "footage" is CGI. That being said, it is an interesting story and I would watch it again.
You have to ask yourself why and how someone would fund such a contemptuous piece of rubbish? Seriously, why would anyone actually want to spend any time making this? Personally, those responsible should be horsewhipped or made drink their favourite sugary drink laced with LSD just so they understand when and when not to cry wolf. Sad, middle class twats laughing at their middle class parties toasting their fanny award and thinking what childish spoof they can get away with next. Sad c@@ts. Glad I'm not paying for this sh@t!In fact, In the words of the great Bill Hicks, go kill yourselves you f@@@in waste of space.
This morning, my eight year old son aboard me excited, and explained me that the Mermaids really exist, because what some scientists said, in their preferred channel of science. The problem I have now is how to explain him that he was deceived. This will be painful for me and also for the the kid, for now, I will remove the channel from the decoder to avoid such kind of problems. You are not Orson Welles and this is not 1938, nobody becomes famous, cheating kids in these days. The problem is that in 1938 the people made many things that are no longer acceptable, as electric chock to psychiatric patients, the racial abuse and the irresponsible destruction of the environment, yet today this things are not acceptable and what before could lead a man to the fame, today might well take him to the ruin.
I do agree with everyone that Animal Planet and Discovery Channel has, for the most part, lost their factual take on shows and specials, and after watching this, I've lost my respect with both. The fact is, is that we're not here for 'What If' documentaries that claim to be true when they aren't! Not only was it stupid but also very dramatized and hard to sit through all of it. If most people are curious to watch it because of the horrible reviews its getting, to have their own opinions... There are better things to do with this time, such as: biting all your fingernails completely off, giving yourself 1000 paper cuts on your face, take a nap on shards of broken glass, or to even have all your blood sucked out by leeches... All in which would be more productive and entertaining/informative....All in all, fake (duh), stupid, waste of time and widely advertised as a documentary that only belongs on the sci fy Chanel, not either one that people are supposed to have any respect for factual documentaries on! Animal Planet, Discovery.. You disgust me...
