A retired local notices a surge in sewage effluence on his daily walk at his nearby beach. He decides to confront the water authority with his findings, but what the polluters don’t realise is that they are taking on a former industry expert in a reverse tale of game-keeper turned poacher.
Supported by the Db Journey x Looking Sideways Fund, this project is still in the development phase. A 15 minute preview cut of the film was shown at the London Surf Film Festival in November 2023.
