Time and Tide

About This Movie

So, 'Time and Tide' dives deep into the unique world of seacoaling in Hartlepool. It’s a documentary that feels more like a heartfelt portrait of a dying trade, you know? The pacing is slow but intentional, allowing you to soak in the rhythm of the tides and the labor of Steve and Keith. Their pride in their craft really shines through—it's raw and unfiltered. The visuals of the rugged coastline and the coal-laden waves are striking, creating an atmosphere that's both nostalgic and poignant. There's a real sense of urgency too; with coal being phased out, you can feel the weight of history and change. It’s an interesting exploration of identity, work, and the relationship between man and nature, all wrapped up in the grit of a fading tradition.
