I am going to have to buy that book and film. I sure hope commercial fisherman change their ways and people who illegaly fish or over fish get jail time and can no longer fish ever again. I don't know just pissed off at all this bad news lately. Makes me feel like there's no hope for future fish populations and our children to fish for anything except asian carp.
Early in this film one of the filmmakers/writers shares how the Atlantic Salmon river of his youth has lost its runs. It's a fitting and most poignant/personalized segue. Solid movie. Came out at the same time of the more adrenaline-rich "The Cove". Good to see it still some love. Thanks MC!
"has been described as “The Inconvenient Truth of our Oceans.”
poor guy, hope that albatross of a label doesn't stick, his film actually sounds important.
Right on.
Maybe somebody should mail ESPN a copy of the book and DVD...
