277 square miles of disputed waters, known as the Gray Zone, situated on the border between Maine and Canada were traditionally fished by US lobstermen. Climate change has pushed the rich lobster fishing ground farther north, and a recent explosion in lobster populations renewed the interest of Canadian’s fishermen. Now there is an ongoing war between Americans and Canadians over the lucrative waters. —YI
Every winter off the coast of Georgia, where shrimp once flourished, fishermen reel in jellyfish by the ton. This sensuous documentary experience is a meditation on the blessed lives and livelihood of fisherman and jellyfish aboard a Southern trawler. Visceral images and sounds immerse us in a primordial world that explores the inside of a trawling hull, and a cannonball jelly! —GC
