Description
Summary:Filmed in ports from western Canada to France, from Scotland to Senegal. It introduces viewers to the logic underlying both industrial and artisanal fishing economies. Enormous industrial "floating factories" follow the fish wherever they are abundant. The fishing communities of the Bigouden, on France's rugged western coast, are determined to fight back. These small town fishermen have launched a sophisticated and multi-faceted strategy to stay small and successful in the face of global competition.
