Hand. Line. Cod.

Directed by Justin Simms · Starring Anthony Cobb, Austin Reid · 2016

Off Newfoundland's Fogo Island, traditional fishers revive a 500-year-old practice, catching cod live by hand, one fish at a time.

Rugged, beautiful and quietly hopeful: a centuries-old way of fishing making a comeback.

Set in the coldest waters surrounding Newfoundland’s rugged Fogo Island, this short film follows a group of “people of the fish”—traditional fishers who catch cod live by hand, one at a time, by hook and line. Filmmaker
