The End of the Line, the first major feature documentary film
revealing the impact of overfishing on our oceans
Filmed over two years, we see first hand the effects of our global love affair with fish as food. The film 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.
Tickets for preview screenings at cinemas on World Oceans Day, Monday 8 June, are now available from www.endoftheline.com/things_to_do/screenings.
