The Water Talks to Me provides a close look at a traditional fishing community caught in the midst of change. Shot in the fishing port of Gloucester, Massachusetts, and on vessels in the North Atlantic, this half-hour documentary explores the impact of declining fish populations on the lives of two offshore fishermen, a father and son. The Water Talks to Me provides a close look at a traditional fishing community caught in the midst of change. Shot in the fishing port of Gloucester, Massachusetts, and on vessels in the North Atlantic, this half-hour documentary explores the impact of declining fish populations on the lives of two offshore fishermen, a father and son. Fisheries' scientists and federal managers are included in the interviews. The result is a multi-layered analysis of family and economics, environmental issues and politics. Narrated by Noah Adams of National Public Radio, The Water Talks to Me is well-suited for classroom use. The documentary's approach is simple and direct, making it accessible for a wide range of educational levels, from junior high through college
