Product Description
Studio: New Video Group Release Date: 02/23/2010

Amazon.com
emThe End of the Line/em is a gripping, sobering documentary for anyone who loves fish, the ocean--and the health of the earth's entire ecosystem. British filmmaker Rupert Murray has created a must-see film--a true call to action--that compellingly makes the case that the earth's oceans must be preserved, like great areas of the land, for future generations, to prevent the emptying of the seas of fish. Murray examines modern fishing practices, and the lack of agreement in the global community on what's acceptable. Trawling, for example, still the major form of catching mass quantities of fish, is done many times a year in the same spot--a practice, Murray tells the viewer, akin to "plowing a field seven times a year." The yield is, and will be, ever diminishing. br /br /Murray based his documentary on Charles Clover's book emThe End of the Line: How Overfishing Is Changing the World and What We Eat/em. As a film, however, the message has far more impact--the gorgeous undersea photography is riveting and inspiring--and helps leaven the downbeat overall message of emThe End of the Line/em. Ted Danson is an engaging narrator, not mincing words or glossing over harsh realities about the world's diminishing fish supply--yet drawing in the viewer to the wonders of the ocean, and why they need the same protections that vast areas of land preserves enjoy. embr /br /The End of the Line/em will make viewers think twice about the fish they eat--and maybe spur them into ocean conservation activism. The DVD includes several extras, including a great mini documentary about "the Coral Triangle," a lush area of the sea north of Australia and surrounding the Philippines and parts of Indonesia. There are also an interview with Danson, a biography of Murray, and a very helpful small print guide, to be taken to restaurants and supermarkets, that suggests the most and least environmentally sustainable types of seafood. --emA.T. Hurley/em

5 out of 5 stars End of the Line   July 16, 2010
L. Ishikawa (Tokyo, Japan)
Should be shown to all students and teachers/educators to heighten the awareness of your fish consumption. br /IF the consumer ceases to purchase endangered/threatened br /species, what will happen to wholesale prices? br /Is it too late? My copy is being loaned out to a commercial tuna fisherman who is aware of laws restrictions, but who's policing our seas to enforce laws that br /regulate fishing quotas? br / br /I have taken a stance. I no longer eat bluefin tuna (among other endangered fish) that is commercially caught. br /Kudos to AK who's practices sustainable fishing...a working example that it can and does work. br / br /Drift nets and other non-selective methods of fishing need to be outlawed. br /BYCATCH is one of the most ineffective ways to fish.... br /Please watch and support sustainable fishing....


5 out of 5 stars An important film   June 28, 2010
David Emery Bricker (Miami, FL United States)
I lived on a cruising sailboat for years, but have almost completely dropped fish from my menu. This excellent documentary chronicles the decline of our global fisheries caused by greed and massive overfishing. It's one of the great unsung problems of our time and this documentary is an important film worth sharing with everyone you know. Though dark by necessity, the film closes on a positive note, offering win/win solutions and simple, positive actions we can take to make a difference before fisheries collapse altogether by 2048.


5 out of 5 stars Eye opening and participatory   May 11, 2010

Unlike many films which outline the exploitation of natural resources, End of the Line includes proactive suggestions on what we as consumers can do to stop the hemorraghing of the oceans. A must see.


5 out of 5 stars The global collapse of fisheries   May 9, 2010
Guy Denutte (Cali, Colombia)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

There was so much cod in Canada it was said you could walk on its back. Overfishing led to its extinction. More than 40.000 fishermen lost their jobs. Despite the moratorium imposed in 1992 the cod isn't coming back. Extinguishing a species is an *irreversible process*. br / br /In general, the global sea catch peaked in 1988. Industrial fishing methods will produce the collapse of all fisheries by 2048, following scientists interviewed in this documentary. br / br /Apart from the extinction of the cod in Canada, other examples of the signs on the wall will be shown. If you also want to see how those huge amounts of tuna are caught, 150 tons of them each time the nets are hauled, check it out on the DVD Wild Pacific. The tuna in the Atlantic is nearly extinct and the fishing fleets are now driving tuna to extinction in the Pacific. br / br /We are definitively living the age of stupid (Age of Stupid (2pc)). Fishermen are aware of the dwindling fish populations, but won't accept their guilt. Fishermen all over the world blame *other species* for the collapse of the fisheries. Each year, Japan kills 1.000 whales (Whale Wars: Season 2) and 23.000 dolphins (The Cove), blaming *them* for eating the fish. Canada still massacres seals (see it for yourself : The Whale Warrior: Pirate for the Sea), blaming *them* to eat cod. br / br /What will be left for our children, then, in 2048 ? Sterile oceans. Algae and jellyfish will thrive. This will be our heritage... br / br /What is even more frustrating is that the solutions are so simple. We would just have to declare a minimum of 20 % of the ocean area as no-fish area, so fish can reproduce there. And fish quotas should be imposed AND enforced. Then we could easily have sustainable fisheries. br / br /This is an important video to become aware of an "invisible" problem that will affect us all in the near future.


5 out of 5 stars A must see   May 1, 2010
JMari (Boston, MA)
"End of the Line" is a well researched, beautifully filmed and produced documentary that is clearly done with passion for marine wildlife. The film is both hopeful - in that there are actions humans can do to before it's too late - and dark - as it goes through the details and research of what the human species is doing to marine wildlfe with its greed-based overfishing. Full of interesting interviews and spectacular film footage, the film is a must see.
