SALTLINES
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.
Two Kinds of Water
Two Kinds of Water explores the lives of a family living in the Guet Ndar fishing community on Senegal’s north coast – a country whose name literally means ‘our boat’.
SEARCHLIGHT
As long as people and vessels are on the water, search and rescue operations will be needed. Yet operating conditions are always challenging: search and rescue teams face constant risks, chronic funding shortages, and changing weather patterns due to climate change.

Two Kinds of Water explores the lives of a family living in the Guet Ndar fishing community on Senegal’s north coast – a country whose name literally means ‘our boat’. The 5,500km coastline of West Africa is home to some of the most diverse and dangerous fishing grounds in the world. It provides a livelihood to eight million people as skills are handed down from generation to generation, yet climate change, over-fishing, and contested waters are producing new and deadly threats every day.


Two Kinds of Water charts the unbreakable bond between a fisherman and his wife as they fight to keep their young family afloat in one of Africa’s most vulnerable fishing communities. A combination of deeply poetic voices and lyrical journeys vividly illustrate the lives of people in ocean communities on the frontline of the climate crisis, people who lay their lives on the line each time they leave the shore.

 

What our screening reviewers said: "Senegal, yes! Thank you for this glimpse at West Africa!" "Love the interplay between husband and wife."
