DESCRIPTION
For centuries, cod has fed the world and built our nation. Today, the iconic American Fisherman is caught in a perfect storm of foreign competition, erratic regulations and declining fish stocks--all while scientists struggle to count fish, and conservationists struggle to save them. In a changing ocean where 'sustainability' is the geopolitical buzzword everyone wants to portray, this film will explore the complex forces at work in geopolitics, global trade, and consumer behavior, and offer concrete solutions to save a 400 year old American industry. 'Survival' means preserving the species, employing the fishermen, and feeding the world. This film attempts to reveal to consumers what they don't know about where their fish comes from, who is catching it, and how it lands on their plate.
Sinopsis by IMDBToday, 91% of our fish is imported and the U.S. is flooded with six billion tons of imported seafood. Consumers across America eat blissfully unaware of the dire consequences that a demand for five species of fish sourced from distant oceans brings to our shores. FISH and MEN exposes the high cost of cheap fish in the modern seafood economy and the forces threatening local fishing communities and public health by revealing how our choices as consumers drives the global seafood trade. 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 model, a 'Catch of the Day' revival based on local, seasonal sustainable fish - introducing consumers to discover new varieties of storied seafood and reconnect us with those who risk their lives to harvest the bounties of the sea.
