This documentary depicts the struggle of small, coastal, artisanal fishing communities in the Aegean Sea versus the catastrophic industrial-scale overfishing. All this is witnessed by a team of environmentalists on board a former fishing boat named “The Odyssey.” They are working towards raising public awareness for this crucial battle for the survival of these traditional communities and their environment which is at stake. The voyage takes place in the enchanting but rather chaotic archipelago of the Aegean Sea, where a state of anarchy and disobedience against any existing legislation has led to illegal “pirate” methods being the norm in these waters. |
