Mother Fish Trap (post production)
Mother fish trap has traveled the continent, existing in intricate river systems and near mighty oceans. She is an ancient technology, passed down generations, that has evolved in each new town she calls home. We hear stories from her guardians. Tales about her journey along the coast from South Africa, to Mozambique and finally, in Kenya. We hear about the threats she face, and how she is in her own way a climate activist.
