April 2, 2021 — The following was released by the New Bedford Fishing Heritage Center:

New Bedford Fishing Heritage Center’s Dock-u-mentaries film series continues with a virtual discussion of the film, The Long Coast.

The event will take place over ZOOM at 7:00pm on Friday, April 16th and will feature a discussion with Robyn Metcalfe, the Executive Producer of The Long Coast. To join the ZOOM Meeting, use the link, bit.ly/AprilDock.

Visitors are asked to watch the film on their own as we will not be screening the film during the Zoom meeting. Register at the following link to receive access to watch the film, bit.ly/WatchLongCoast. Register by April 15th to receive access before the discussion on April 16th. Once you receive the link, you will have 48 hours to watch the film.

In a series of lyrical portraits, The Long Coast illuminates the stories of Maine’s seafolk, those whose lives and livelihoods are inextricably connected to the ocean. This atmospheric film shows the beauty, intimacy, and uncertainty that coastal dwellers face in rooting their lives in the ocean, particularly as human actions — from overfishing, to aquaculture, to warming seas — confront Maine and its people with profound change.
