TEN TIMES EMPTY

“The plate of a fisherman is ten times empty and one time full”. The implications of this bitter statement are seen through the eyes of 11 year-old Vassily. His father and uncles are fishermen. Their livelihoods have become threatened through depleted resources on this small island of Symi, Greece. Vassily ponders his future. (1975, 21 mins)
