Overview

This documentary beautifully captures the daily life of the dh?vara? — Sanskrit for a fisherman — of Malpe Harbour, Karnataka, India, as they face the impacts of overfishing. Former Fishermen’s Association President Satish Kundar talks about the joy as well as the difficulties of traditional, small-scale fishermen, like himself. The film offers a glimmer of hope for the future due to efforts to promote sustainable fishing and eating practices that can preserve both aquatic life and local livelihoods.
