Sushi: The Global Catch

Documentary • G • Directed by: Mark Hall • 75 minutes

From Texas to Seattle and New York to Moscow, the demand for sushi, a cuisine formerly found only in Japan, has grown exponentially and a multi-million dollar industry has been created to support it. In a rush to please a hungry public, the expensive delicacy has become common and affordable, appearing in restaurants, supermarkets and even fast food trailers. The traditions requiring 7 years of apprenticeship in Japan have given way to quick training and mass-manufactured solutions elsewhere. This hunger for sushi has come at a price and has the potential to upset the ecological balance of the world's oceans, leading to a collapse of all fish species. Edited by Sandra Adair, ACE and Catie Cacci with an Original Score composed by Brian Satterwhite. A FilmBuff Presentation.
