MESHES OF THE OCEAN by Jessica C. and Hannah Lewis
All Films • 12m
‘Meshes of the Ocean’ is the story of Ron Ingraham, a charming 96-year-old Newfoundlander who immigrated to Canada during the 1940’s, while the territory was still under the British law. In this documentary, Ron weaves his life’s story from his home in the idyllic village of Neil’s Harbour, Cape Breton. He recounts his experiences and the vast changes he witnessed in the fishing industry over the last century and shows his hand-knitting skills while repairing fishing nets, a sustainable practice barely employed today. Through Ron's story, we acknowledge practices lost over time and the importance of listening and learning while the knowledge is available.
