Universal-International has made a cold-blooded contribution to the current catch of crime-expose pictures. "Raging Tide" fearlessly rips the lid off the world's slimiest racket--commercial fishing. And because this is a factual expose, it takes you right to the spot where dirty work is being done; the action takes place on a fishing smack in the Pacific...
