To some, the ocean is a fearsome and dangerous place. But to others, it's a limitless world of fun, freedom and opportunity where life can be lived to the full. Fishpeople tells the stories of a unique cast of characters who have dedicated their lives to the sea. From surfers and spearfishers to a long-distance swimmer, a former coal miner and a group of at-risk kids on the streets of San Francisco, it's a film about the transformative effects of time spent in the ocean-and leaving behind our limitations to find deeper meaning in the saltwater wilderness that lies just beyond the shore.
