"Lord of the Fishes"

This ten minute film was shot in the mountains of NWFP Pakistan inside a dam lake, where you take a tour on the boat of a "Machera" which means fisherman in Urdu.  We document how they go out everday and catch fish in the dam, and then interview the buyer of the fish who hires the fisherman.  The ownership of the fishing rights for the dam's lake is discussed and the distribution methods and locations along with the price and the seasons where they enjoy the most fishes caught and the reasons behind that.
