"Lobster
War" is a must-watch, award-winning feature-length documentary film about
a conflict between the United States and Canada over waters that both countries
have claimed since the end of the Revolutionary War. The disputed 277
square miles of sea known as the Gray Zone were traditionally fished by US
lobstermen. But as the Gulf of Maine has warmed faster than nearly any other
body of water on the planet, the area’s previously modest lobster population
has surged. As a result, Canadians have begun to assert their sovereignty,
warring with the Americans to claim the bounty.
Directed
by David Abel, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter at The Boston Globe, and Andy
Laub, an award-winning documentarian, producers of the acclaimed Discovery
channel documentary "Sacred Cod".
