The True Price of Fish

Too many fishermen are losing their lives at sea. As the UK’s most dangerous profession, commercial fishing has accounted for 87 deaths in the past 10 years. One way to mitigate the dangers faced is to wear a lifejacket at sea. However, just 25% of our 12,000 fishermen make this decision.
In 2014, campaigns have reignited the importance of fishermen wearing lifejackets. This TV documentary explores the traditions, stories and resolutions behind this tricky relationship in the South West of England.
