Cutting the Line - the truth behind our disposable culture

Cutting the Line powerfully reveals the truth behind our disposable culture and serves as an inspirational clarion call to find solutions to the tragic consequences of plastic, before its too late.

Armed with a handheld net and cutting tools, a kayaking tour guide and his family set out to rescue seals entangled in fishing line and other plastic debris along Namibia’s Skeleton Coast. As the seals grow bigger, the debris cuts deeper into their bodies, causing painful wounds that often lead to an agonizing death.

What begins as a few spur-of-the-moment rescues quickly evolves into a unique environmental organization that unites a community and finds itself pitted against a mounting global crisis.
