| Summary: | "[This] first major feature documentary film revealing the impact of overfishing on our oceans ... examines the imminent extinction of bluefin tuna, brought on by increasing western demand for sushi; the impact on marine life resulting in huge overpopulation of jellyfish; and the profound implications of a future world with no fish that would bring certain mass starvation. Filmed over two years, The end of the line follows the investigative reporter Charles Clover as he confronts politicians and celebrity restaurateurs, who exhibit little regard for the damage they are doing to the oceans. ... Filmed across the world--from the Straits of Gibraltar to the coasts of Senegal and Alaska to the Tokyo fish market--featuring top scientists, indigenous fishermen and fisheries enforcement officials, The end of the line is a wake-up call to the world."--Film's website. |
