Farmers of the Sea 2024

Directed by Juan C. Dávila Santiago

In the Caribbean island of Vieques, climate change is making fishing more difficult. Farmers of the Sea follows the daily life of artisanal and recreational fishermen as they adapt to new challenges to get their catch and notice a decline in fish populations. Pedro and his crew need to go further into the sea to find the lobsters they catch to make a living, and Cecilia, along with her partner, needs to wait longer hours at the pier to barely catch any fish. Meanwhile, younger generations of Viequenses dream of becoming fishermen.
