Fishing documentary to be screened |
|
In April 2010, Standard-Times reporter Don Cuddy voyaged to Georges Bank aboard the New Bedford dragger Sea Escape to experience for himself the life of a fisherman. The Dock-U-Mentaries Film Series continues on Friday with "Finest Kind," a 51-minute documentary film that resulted from this experience.
Dock-U-Mentaries is a co-production of New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park and the Working Waterfront Festival. Films about the working waterfront are being screened at 7 p.m. on the third Friday of each month in the theater of the Corson Maritime Learning Center, 33 William St., downtown New Bedford. All programs are open to the public and presented free of charge. Read the complete story with all the event details from the South Coast Today.
