For as long as people in Eyemouth, a tiny Scottish fishing town, can remember, boys became men who catch fish and a young girl is crowned as a queen. Now, there’s no fish left for the men to catch, but year after year, a new 14 year old Herring Queen still takes her crown. Through the observational lens of a village’s fishy festival, we feel the impacts of a global climate crisis, how it affects livelihoods, community and impacts mental health. We also explore whether, in an ever changing world, traditions hold us together or hold us back.
