From the Culch

A film made from the offcuts of a lost 1978 BBC documentary about the Truro oyster fishery. After the original documentary was broadcast, a can of randomly assembled 16mm film was given to Dennis Laity, crewman on the George Glasson, as a memory of his late brother Paul, who passed away not long after shooting wrapped. Now a 4K digital scan reveals the beauty captured in the celluloid and Dennis, now 82 years old, gives voice to his memories of the men who dredged the oyster beds of the Carrick Roads and the boats they sailed on.
