WINNER: Environment Award
The End of the Line
Arcane Pictures, Calm Productions and Dartmouth Films
Rupert Murray's acclaimed film looks at the consequences of unchecked, unregulated sea fishing across the globe. The final chilling conclusion is that unless more radical steps are taken globally, including the reduction of overfishing, it will take just 50 years for the world's oceans to be all fished out.
The judges said:
'Our unanimous choice is The End of the Line - the story of humanity's over-exploitation of the world's fisheries, and what it implies for the future. For us, this was an impressive film, both editorially and visually. The facts and the causes of ocean depletion were laid bare, with due regard also paid to uncertainties in projecting the future. This is the rarest of beasts - a film about environmental destruction that entertains, with a positive and engaging finale.'
