Contents/Summary
- Summary
- Not all that long ago, Essaouira was the biggest harbor town in Morocco and had the largest sardine catch in the world. Now the sardines are scarce and the fisherman are forced to make their way southwards to Dakhla, where the Western Sahara meets the Atlantic. But it's tough going there as well: European, Russian and Asian fishing companies are dragging the waters with their trawlers, so the locals often return home empty-handed. Director Jawad Rhalib shows the impact of the meager catch on the rest of the town as well, from the grocer who watches his profits dwindle to the homeless woman who can no longer expect any charity.
