How it was made
What is left of a fishing fleet
We wanted to make a film about fishing that did not decide in advance whose fault it was. The three skippers disagree with each other more than any of them disagrees with us, and we let that stand.
Eleven weeks at sea across two winters. Two cameras, both of which we lost.
Shortlisted at Sheffield and the reason we can now get a commissioner on the phone.
