FATAL WATCH is a feature-length documentary exploring the mysterious disappearances of four marine observers, and what their fate reveals about the true cost of industrial over-fishing.
Part murder mystery and part ocean odyssey, FATAL WATCH features the work of a diverse group of international investigators working around the world to expose the true level of criminality at sea. The documentary team traveled from Fiji to Panama, Ghana to the Marshall Islands, Spain and the US to illustrate how tuna has become a prized commodity while human lives are sacrificed and evidence of environmental damage mounts. The film dives deep to expose how fish gets from the sea to our plate, and what we need to do to protect those who protect us on the ocean. Combining exclusive footage and critical access to key investigations, FATAL WATCH captures the powerful stories of marine observers who are literally dying to tell the truth.
