Stan Rennie

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)
