Description
The Fisherman depicts vividly the impact of technological change upon the fishing villages of Newfoundland. Although limited to a specific locale and a particular industry, this film nevertheless suggests some basic principles of social change which are applicable to other peoples and societies. As numerous anthropological investigations have disclosed, a culture is influenced significantly by its ways of providing a living. An equally valid projxjsition emphasizes that the introduction of new methods of gaining
a livelihood may lead to the reconstruction of cultural patterns. If the tempo of change is accelerated, serious social dislocations may result and competing ways of life and beliefs may struggle for survival.
For generations the in-shore villages were sustained by boats operated by individual fishermen proud of their independence and initiative and secure in the knowledge that they could wrest a living from the sea with only a handline 100 feet long. This calling, with its dangers and rewards as viewed through the eyes of one fisherman, was passed along from father to son. Scenes of cutting tables, the mending of nets, and the routine activities of housewives offer a glimpse of a unique society which may soon be radically altered.
The challenge is posed by the rise of "industrial" fishing villages which
send "dragger" boats equipped with new electronic devices and huge nets to the Grand Banks. Dragging the bottom of the ocean with nets, these vessels with their crews working 24 hours a day in shifts are capable o! catching tons of fish in a matter o) hours. The vUlage processing anc packing plant manned by former fish ermen now working assembly line; receives the catch and prepares it fo the market. Some workers feel tha there are certain benefits obtained b; their transition from the role of fisher man to factory employee. The eight hour day with regular paydays has re I placed the dangers and the lonelines of tlie individual fisherman. For other this means the passing of old an' ■ tested values of self-reliance and sell sufficiency and the breakdown of clos i family ties which have characterize their way of life.
