Stan Rennie

General On Sale: Mon 17 Aug, 10am

Stan Rennie & his family have worked the same stretch of coastline, where the river meets the sea for centuries. When a biblical tide of poisoned crabs and lobsters washes ashore, Stan’s world is turned upside-down overnight.

Dealing with the devastation of his business and his own failing health, Stan finds himself thrown into a battle for the future. As officials equivocate, he becomes the unlikely figurehead for a grassroots campaign to uncover the truth about the die-off, managing it in the only way he knows how, with heart, determination and a rich strain of gallows humour.

A wry, David and Goliath story about navigating through grief and finding power in community. A film by Teessider Jeanie Finlay (Your Fat Friend, Seahorse)

This special preview screening will be followed by an in-person Q&A with producer Charlie Phillips (Our Land)
