Turning the Tide

T0352836609
In the winter of 1968 three Hull trawlers sank in Arctic waters. The loss of 58 men devastated the close-knit fishing community of Hessle Road. For the first time in their history the fishermen's wives took action. They marched, campaigned and drew the world's attention to their cause- the reform of an industry that was killing their men. A powerful multi-media production with spoken word & song, image, film and compelling storytelling portraying the Hull 1968 Trawler Tragedy and the fishermen's wives national campaign for improved safety at sea.
