Dock-u-mentary: Voices of the Sea
Hosted in partnership with New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park, Dock-u-mentaries is a free film series that explores themes and topics related to the commercial fishing industry and the working waterfront.
On January 17, FHC will be screening the film Voices of the Sea. In this tiny, remote Cuban fishing village, virtually every family has a relative living abroad and everyone is utterly dependent on the sea. Dilapidated Russian trucks ferry water to a population lacking drinking water, the ships are empty and basic transportation is nonexistent. Voices of the Sea is the story of a 30-something woman longing for a better life. Her first husband, and the father of her two eldest sons, drowned trying to escape Cuba on a raft with 30 people on board (only one survived). She’s tried to escape once herself, and now wants to try again. Illuminating the real struggles of the Cuban people with unique access and empathy, Voices of the Sea takes us behind the booming American tourism curtain into the heart of a high stakes family drama playing out in a remote fishing village. Total runtime: 90 minutes
