Travel around the globe to Senegal, Scotland, and the USA, with these spectacular looks at how we live with and around water. Three very different stories that are thought-provoking as well as beautiful to watch.

A young woman in Down East, Maine, is a brave "lobsterman" who feels a deep connection with the sea. She straddles the traditional - a dedicated fourth-generation lobsterman who embraces the role she was born to play - and the modern - a single mother by choice who created her son with the help of an anonymous sperm donor. A fascinating look at a woman who is consigning gender stereotypes to the past while living very much her own life.

 

What our screening reviewers said: Poetry, really. A must-see for anyone who loves the sea or who understands the deep pull of generational ties." What an atypical woman - inspiration for living your own life, with all that that means.
