Desc: Last Fisherman: Directed by James Stier. With Roy Chamberlain. Malcolm is the last traditional Fisherman in the Rame Peninsula, if not the whole of Cornwall. Still fishing with handmade pots, wooden boats and nets he keeps tradition alive with skills passed down from generations before. Malcolm is a connection to a way of life that doesn't exist anymore; the world around him has changed and his occupation, his village and his community are continually evolving at a rapid pace. As a man out of time he is struggling to understand his place in the world, but at the right moment an unlikely friendship forms with an Austrian youth worker whose passion for a simpler way of life and the preservation of these traditional skills leads to a future no one would have ever expected. The documentary is a celebration of one mans life and the impact on his industry on the local community. A realistic reminder that progress, industrialism and rapid change can have a harmful impact on the legacy of our forefathers.
