Today, 91% of the seafood in America is imported as the U.S. is flooded with six billion tons of foreign seafood. Consumers eat, blissfully unaware of where their seafood comes from—and few even think to ask. Yet, the demand-driven seafood economy is having dire consequences. FISH & MEN exposes the high cost of cheap fish by revealing how our choices as consumers drive the global seafood trade, threatening local fishing communities and public health.
But a new movement is underway—an opportunity to return sustainability to both fish and fishermen. Thriving on local communities, pioneering fishermen and celebrated chefs are leading a revolutionary new supply-based model, a ‘Catch of the Day’ revival based on local, seasonal, sustainable fish, introducing consumers to new varieties of storied seafood and reconnecting us with those who risk their lives to harvest the bounties of the sea.
A fascinating and alarming film. The alarm should trigger change. By getting this film seen by thousands of people, FLIFF hopes for a call to action...GvH
