Recorded Q&A
Of Fish And Foe: Director Q&AAndy Heathcote (The Moo Man) brings us crashing into a clash between two tribes – fisherman and animal activists – taking place off the Atlantic coast off Scotland.
The Pullars are one of the last families using traditional methods to fish for wild Atlantic salmon. When these methods involve killing seals, the salmon’s natural predators, conflict erupts.
Animal activist groups Sea Shepherd and Hunt Saboteurs oppose the Pullars at every turn, despite the legality of the fisherman’s actions and the consequences to their livelihood.
Challenging preconceptions with a balanced observation of the battle, this ambiguous, stirring documentary is a gripping exploration of modern environmentalism.
