Gutted: The Demise of Scotland’s Fishing Industry

Scottish fishermen have trawled for cod in the North Sea for generations. Under new European Union laws, many families are being forced out of the trade. This Wide Angle documentary poignantly depicts a year in the life of Fraserburgh, a hard-hit community caught between E.U. policies designed to preserve fish stocks and the need to earn a living. Showing how commercial overfishing has decimated the local whitefish population, the program joins one veteran fisherman on the final voyage of his family boat, and profiles the Cod Crusaders—a group of Fraserburgh women who besiege E.U. committee hearings in a last-ditch effort to save their town’s livelihood. Leon Panetta, Chairman of the Pew Oceans Commission, discusses the state of the world’s oceans and marine life with guest anchor Carol Marin. (57 minutes)
