Despite an increased awareness of overfishing, the majority of people still know very little about the scale of the destruction being wrought on the oceans. This film presents an unquestionable case for why overfishing needs to end and shows that there is still an opportunity for change.

And for all of us living in the United States, whats wrong with this picture? Why aren’t we more involved? Granted its European Fish Weeks, but we can still get more involved! It is our ocean with the rest of the world and this idea or Europe being one entity and the United States being another is part of the problem. It is going to take a world uprising for profound change to happen!
