Rupert Murray (born 28 May 1969) is a film director working in London. Murray began by making television documentaries for Channel Four's Cutting Edge series including Playing For England and Seconds To Impact (cameraman and editor), and short films Outsiders and This Was My War, co-directed with Beadie Finzi.

The film premiered at Sundance and was nominated for a Grierson award, a British Independent Film Award and a Directors Guild of America award.
The film was greeted with some scepticism from film critics in the USA on release, several of whom believed it was an elaborate hoax. The filmmakers have consistently rejected this allegation. Influential film critic Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times said that he was "convinced of its truthfulness".
In 2007 he directed "Wild Art: Olly and Suzi" for BBC Storyville.
Murray also directed The End of The Line, a documentary about the effects of overfishing.The film was shown at Sundance 2009 and has resulted in major retailers changing their fish sourcing policy.
He is currently working on a film about climate sceptics for the BBC.

When a cross-section of seven-year-olds were interviewed for 7 Up in 1964 it was immediately evident that their social backgrounds influenced their attitudes towards life. While the upper class children were confident and self-assured, those from middle and working class backgrounds were resigned to a challenging life of hard work. This premise was put to the test every seven years when the same group were interviewed about the progression of their lives. 49 years in the making, the changes that occurred to the original 14 make for fascinating television and are in many ways the stories of all our lives. From success and disappointment, marriage and childbirth, to poverty and illness, nearly every facet of life has been captured on film. Now, at the age of 56, the group are once more brought together and, with the benefit of hindsight, assess whether their lives have been ruled by circumstance or self-determination.

Filmmaker Rupert Murray takes us on a journey into the heart of climate scepticism to examine the key arguments against man-made global warming and to try to understand the people who are making them.Do they have the evidence that we are heating up the atmosphere or are they taking a grave risk with our future by dabbling in highly complicated science they don't fully understand? Where does the truth lie and how are we, the people, supposed to decide?

Documental que denuncia el devastador efecto de la sobrepesca en nuestros mares y océanos. Imagina un mundo sin peces. Imagina tus comidas sin alimentos procedentes del mar. Imagina sus consecuencias en el mundo. Este es el futuro que nos aguarda a menos que no nos detengamos, pensemos en ello y pasemos a la acción. En la película vemos de primera mano los efectos de nuestra pasión mundial por el pescado, examinando la inminente extinción del atún rojo llevada por la creciente demanda occidental de sushi, el impacto de la enorme sobrepoblación de medusas en la vida marina y las profundas consecuencias de un mundo futuro sin pescado que comportará una certera hambruna masiva. Filmada por todo el mundo, desde el Estrecho de Gibraltar hasta las costas de Senegal y Alaska, pasando por el mercado de pescado de Tokio y destacando a los más eminentes científicos, pescadores indígenas y autoridades por el cumplimiento de la ley, 'The End of the Line' es una llamada de reacción al mundo.
