Slow Food Boston’s 3rd Annual Film Series continues with a screening of The End of the Line at the Tufts University Friedman School, 150 Harrison Avenue, on Sunday, February 7 at 3:30 pm.
Grilling beautiful tuna steaks. The ubiquitous shrimp cocktail. Polluted fish farms. Mercury. Omega 3 fatty acids. Fishing quotas. Ouch – purchasing & consuming seafood has never been so rife with conflict.  This somewhat unnerving documentary The End of the Line explores issues like those above in what the LA Times called a “…crisp, informative and convincing way…” The NY Times says, despite some flaws, that it “…subverts our ancient faith in the ocean as an inexhaustible resource, offering a persuasive case that the major species of edible fish are headed for extinction.”
Join Slow Food Boston for this in-depth look at current research and thoughts on our oceans, the fish that populate them and the people whose livelihoods depend on them. Oh, not to mention the effects all of it has on those of us on the other end of the chain: the consumers! Cost is $5, payable at the door by cash or check.
