THE END OF THE LINE (G)

Dir: Rupert Murray
2009 UK 85mins 4K
The End of the Line is the world’s first major feature documentary about the devastating impact unsustainable fishing practices has had, and is having, on our oceans. Based on the book by former London Telegraph journalist Charles Clover, The end of the Line provides a dramatic exposé of those in power who are taking advantage of the seas with catastrophic consequences on the world’s fish supplies. A wake up call to the world that also demonstrates the simple changes we all can make to revers the current predicament facing our oceans.

Official selection of Sundance Film Festival 2009
