| Summary |
Set in the coldest waters surrounding Newfoundland's rugged Fogo Island, this film follows a group of "people of the fish"--traditional fishers who catch cod live by hand, by hook and line, one at a time. Their secret mission? To drive up the price of fish. After a 20-year moratorium on North Atlantic cod, the stocks are returning. These fishers are leading a revolution in sustainability, taking their premium product directly to the commercial market for the first time. |
