Well Fished is a short documentary film exploring the lives of two young Nova Scotian women who, unlike other many their age, dream of living a life working on the Atlantic. Nova Scotia’s population and landscape have drastically changed throughout the decades. The role of women was also transformed with the passing of traditional gender roles and the decline of the male dominated fishing industry. The film portrays Grace MacDougall and Fallon Conway’s connection to Atlantic Canada’s older and disappearing fishing traditions. The setting for the film is northeastern Nova Scotia. Here lie two neighboring communities, both bound by character, shared history, friendly faces and access to the bone-chilling Atlantic Ocean. Grace lives in Antigonish, Fallon in Whitehead. Although the two have never met, they share parallel early mornings and even earlier evenings. Grace and Fallon are living the fishing lifestyle today essentially because of their family’s generational continuity in the industry. Effective management and protection for our small-scale family fisheries is crucial to keep the money circulating in seaside communities. Women’s roles are becoming more prominent and play an important role with the younger generation, the future of Nova Scotians striving to work and live in the province.
