Preview: All Rivers Spill Their Stories to the Sea + Q&A
classified 18 (CTBA)The North-East of England: fisherman Stan Rennie has worked the same stretch of coastline, where the river meets the sea, for over fifty years; the trade has been in his family for centuries.
So when a vast tide of poisoned crabs and lobsters washes ashore like a biblical plague in the wake of a new Brexit-fuelled development along that same coastline, Stan’s world is turned upside-down overnight. Have the sins of the industrial past come back to haunt the present?
A wry David and Goliath story, told with gallows humour and a strong local accent, about the grief of navigating a world which has suddenly, inexplicably changed forever.
Followed by a Q&A with director Jeanie Finlay.
