The End of the Line

Rupert Murray's film is the latest eco-documentary to update us on just how far our handcart has travelled towards hell.

This time, the focus is on fish supplies. Murray alerts us to the possibility of all marine food reserves being exhausted by 2050 and adds depressing reports on the unscrupulousness of big-business fishing and the feebleness of government. Sobering stuff, but presented with no more flair than a television news item. The closest thing we get to an on-screen crusader is the mild-mannered journalist Charles Clover, who is mainly shown talking on the phone - adding a bathetic extra meaning to the title.
