I LOVE documentaries - sadly, there isn't enough time to view them all. This one deserves a watch.
Premiering at the Sundance Film Festival in 2009, this English documentary chronicles overfishing of seafood across the world, and has been credited with changes in many popular restaurants. Some critics have complained that the documentary is too dramatic, but most conservation groups agree with the premise - by 2040, much of the world's seafood supply will be too devastated to catch, farm, and eat. The film is about 80 minutes.
Here is a link to Xfinity/Hulu where you can watch the movie for free, with limited commercial interruptions:

Here is a link to purchase the book, written by Charles Clover, on Amazon - they don't have a kindle version yet- http://www.amazon.com/End-Line-Overfishing-Changing-World/dp/0520255054/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1326323075&sr=8-1
Best watched with a veggie burger and glass of organic wine!
