Whoever thought that our heart-healthy, low-cal, doctor-approved trips to the supermarket fish counter would become fraught with moral choices?
Thatโs exactly the case being made by "The End of the Line," the disturbing new documentary on what overfishing is doing to the worldโs oceans. (It opens in Los Angeles next Friday.) The film from director Rupert Murray and investigative journalist Charles Clover was screened Monday at UCLA to mark World Oceans Day. Producer Lawrence Bender and longtime environmental activist Kelly Meyer (wife of Universal Pictures President RonMeyer) hosted a crowd that included Rosario Dawson, Saffron Burrows and Kimberly Estrada.
Afterward, the serious-minded group stayed to hear scientific experts discuss what the last few decades of factory-style overfishing have done to the global marine environment.
