The Last Captains

*The Last Captains* is a gripping documentary series immersing viewers in the remote archipelago of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It chronicles the lives of multi-generational fishing families as they wage a two-front war for survival. On the volatile North Atlantic, they undertake perilous voyages chasing the big catches that sustain their community. Back on shore, the 400 residents battle coastal erosion, economic pressures, and depopulation in a relentless fight to preserve their unique heritage against the forces of nature and time. A stunning, sobering portrait of resilience.
