The End of the Line
2008 UK
Duration: 90 mins
Overview
The End of the Line dives headfirst into today’s over-the-top global fish market, opening our eyes to a natural system on the brink of failure and an industry that is at risk of disappearing completely. This is a powerful wake-up call that reveals a critical—but often overlooked and overtaxed—ecosystem that we can no longer take for granted. Filmed around the planet—from the Straits of Gibraltar and the coasts of Senegal to Alaska and the Tokyo fish market—the footage features top scientists, indigenous fishermen and fisheries enforcement officials. —EL
