Was surfing through the 11th Annual Provincetown Film Festival web site and found some really interesting indie films being shown in Ptown from June 17th to the 21st. I am majorly wishing I am there to get my indie film fix.

Instead, I am going to write about some of the entries, most of which were shown at Sundance earlier this year. There are so many interesting films and documentaries out there that all of us can benefit from and widen our understanding of the world around us.

Take for example, The End Of The Line, based on the book by Charles Clover, it is the first major feature documentary about overfishing in our ocean.

The End Of The Line has received major marketing support from The National Geographic, GreenPeace and Waitt Foundation. Narrated by Ted Danson, the movie tackles the impact of overfishing and the global ecological disaster happening because of it. Love sushi? Fish and chips anyone? Where do you think it comes from and what does it take to get them to your table? Watch this movie and you’ll never look at seafood on your table the same way (I hope).
