The Academy of Natural Sciences announced to today that they’ll be premiering locally “The End of The Line,” a new documentary on the perils of overfishing on Tuesday, June 16. The event is free. Reservations not required.
Fresh from its world premiere at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, “The End of the Line” depicts overfishing, overconsumption of seafood and the perilous effects it is having on the environment and on fish populations. After its local debut at the Academy, the film will be shown in select movie theaters.
Described by The Economist as “the inconvenient truth about the impact of overfishing on the world’s oceans,” the film follows
investigative reporter Charles Clover as he interviews fishermen, scientists, politicians, and celebrity restaurateurs around the world. The film concludes that unless current trends are altered, the world could run out of seafood by 2048.

Sent you an email recently, still waiting for a reply – could you please let me know when the film is out on DVD as I want to take it back to Kenya with me to show our fishermen about the dangers of overfishing and why they have to respect our NTZ.
Also suggested you contat Kino Cinema in Hawkhurst Kent for a viewing

Hi Carol,
Sorry, I don’t think I received an email from you. We’re not affiliated with the Academy of Natural Science, we’re just a volunteer site that points folks toward science-y things going on in Philly.
