The sea remembers every debt we owe it.

Captain Rashid

Synopsis

A fishing village wakes at 3 a.m. for a catch that shrinks every year. Across one full season we ride with three boats through storms, debt and a coastline being sold behind their backs.

Behind the lens

Three boats, one drone, zero dry days. We lost a lens to salt spray on day nine and kept shooting with a towel wrapped around the camera.
