Catch The End of the Line, the world’s first major feature documentary film revealing the devastating impact of overfishing on the oceans directed by Rupert Murray.
Brought to you by WWF, the film explores the effects of our global love affair with fish as a source of food, including the imminent extinction of bluefin tuna, brought about by increasing demand for sushi, and the profound implications of a future world with no fish.
