Kendal Mountain Festival Screening plus Q&A with Stan Rennie

Fisherman Stan Rennie has worked the same stretch of the northeast 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. Dealing with the devastation of his business and his own failing health, Stan becomes the unlikely figurehead for a grassroots campaign to uncover the truth about the die-off, managing it in the only way he knows how, with heart, determination and a rich strain of gallows humour. A wry, David and Goliath story about navigating through grief and finding power in community.
