From schools of fish to primary schools - this weekend's Film Series

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14: A documentary about the devastating impact of overfishing and a film about an 80-year-old Kenyan going to school are the subjects of two films showing this Sunday.

The films are part of Bermuda Docs and the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute’s Weekend Film Series.

The End of the Line claims to be the world’s first major documentary about the overfishing of the world’s oceans.

It looks at the “imminent extinction” of blue fin tuna brought on by the West’s growing appetite for sushi, the huge overpopulation of jellyfish as a result of fewer fish in the oceans and the implications of a world without fish.

Investigative reporter Charles Clover confronts politicians and celebrity restaurateurs who have little regard for the damage being done to the oceans.

From the Straits of Gibraltar to the coasts of Senegal it features top scientists, indigenous fishermen and fisheries enforcement officers.

The First Grader tells the story of 80-year-old Kimani N’gan’ga Maruge (played by Oliver Litondo), who decides to join first grade when the Kenyan government announces free primary education for all.

Based on a true story The First Grader is an inspiring and uplifting film that proves it’s never too late to start.

The End of the Line shows at 3pm and The First Grader at 5:15pm. Tickets are $15 and are available at Oceans Gift Shop or by calling 297-7314. Both will be shown at BUEI’s Tradewinds auditorium.
