On A Fishing Expedition- Germany's Biggest Deep-Sea Trawler

About This Movie

On A Fishing Expedition dives into the gritty reality of deep-sea fishing aboard the Maartje Theadora. This documentary captures the relentless life at sea—over 300 days a year, no less. The film’s atmosphere is raw, almost palpable; you can feel the salt in the air and the weight of the ocean's bounty. It’s fascinating how the crew sorts and freezes up to 6,000 tons of fresh fish, a process that feels almost industrial yet deeply human. The pacing is steady, reflecting the long hours spent on the water, interspersed with moments of quiet reflection and camaraderie among the crew. The lack of a known director adds an air of authenticity, as if you’re witnessing a world not often seen by landlocked eyes.
