A film about an industry that didn't want to change Many trawlers are old-fashioned Trawlermen work in conditions illegal on land The industry spends over £100,000,000 a year on foreign fish It pulps British fish into cattle food Over 400 protection societies defend the status quo ... and 1968 has been a doleful year. Trawlers lost at sea, trawlers laid up, trawlermen laid off. Fishing is-in every sense-in deep water Produced and narrated by Roger Mills
