Climate of Our Future

Imagine a World Without Fish

I just watched this.  I agree.  The angels are weeping, because I am.  This film opened my eyes.  Beautifully filmed and so very educational.  If you care about our planets future you have to see this film.  We have to do something NOW.

“The inconvenient truth about the impact of overfishing on the world’s oceans.”

–The Economist

OVERVIEW:

Imagine an ocean without fish. This is the future—in less than 40 years—if we do not stop, think and act. Narrated by Ted Danson and based on the acclaimed book by Charles Clover, THE END OF THE LINE shows firsthand the effects of our global love affair with fish as food. It examines the imminent extinction of bluefin tuna, the huge overpopulation of jellyfish and the prospect of certain mass starvation. Filmed over two years 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.

Endorsed by National Geographic and Greenpeace, THE END OF THE LINE premiered at 2009’s Sundance Film Festival and went on to a limited national theatrical release. In January 2010, the filmmakers launched a nationwide “Fish ‘n’ Flicks” dinner/screening campaign with some of America’s most renowned and ecologically conscious chefs to educate guests about what they can do to end overfishing. Timed to hit stores prior to the March vote by the Convention on International Trade to ban the overfishing of bluefin tuna, THE END OF THE LINE arrives on DVD and digital format on February 23rd, 2010.
