The Last Frontier
ABOUT THE FILM
The Last Frontier, a short documentary by Alaska Motion Pictures, asks the question – what does it mean when you can privatize something like fish? The film explores the impact of a privatized catch share system on Alaskan fisherman, their families and their communities, giving a voice to their frustrations. One of the film’s fishermen summarizes their struggle:
“We’re making a perfectly good living right now, but people who could own access rights could be rich. And how do you do that? You take away the perfectly good living from people who actually harvest by taking away their ability to access the resources.”
