Catching the Tide is an intriguing documentary that captures the fading essence of the salmon netting community in St Cyrus, Aberdeenshire. Colin McPherson’s intimate photography pulls you into the gritty yet beautiful world of these fishermen, showcasing their daily struggles and the bond they share with the land and sea. The pacing is contemplative, allowing moments of stillness that contrast with the hard labor. It’s less about flashy storytelling and more about the rhythms of life, the tides, and the passage of time. The atmosphere is steeped in nostalgia, making you reflect on the loss of traditional ways. There's a certain rawness to it, a reminder of how quickly things can change, and it’s that authenticity that really sets it apart.
