About the Film

Shot in the village of Kafountine, this documentary sheds light on the countless artisanal fishers, fish processors and migrant laborers comprising a workforce fundamental to maintaining food sovereignty in West Africa. Operating out of the largest fishing port in southern Senegal, this sector is a guardian of regional gastronomic traditions and cultures while it also confronts the growing impacts of industrial fishing, globalization and foreign factories endangering its supply of the staple sardinella fish. In light of these encroaching threats, how much longer will these workers be able to resist?
