Synopsis

Two friends, both Indigenous fishermen, are driven to desperation by a dying sea. Their friendship begins to fracture as they take very different paths to provide for their struggling families.

Our take

Sarvnik Kaur’s nuanced look at the maritime lives of two Koli men is a poignant tale of friendship, sustained amid economic and ecological crises. Winner of the Special Jury Award at Sundance in 2023, this powerful observational documentary is an environmental wake-up call for us all.
