Beneath the calm waters of Alert Bay, a quiet crisis has been building for decades. This film follows divers, scientists and 'Namgis community leaders as they remove lost fishing gear from the seafloor and restore an ecosystem tied to culture, history and food security.
Moving between past and present, it traces the legacy of industrial fishing. Underwater imagery sits alongside first-hand testimony, showing both the scale of the damage and a community committed to healing the ocean.
