ARC Stockton Arts Centre have three dates left to see All Rivers Spill Their Stories To The Sea

Wednesday 28 October
Friday 30 October
Tuesday 3 November

Highly, highly recommended,
it's excellent, infuriating, funny and sad.

'When a mysterious tidemark of poisoned crabs & lobsters devastates a small North East fishing town in England, veteran fisherman Stan Rennie’s life is transformed overnight.

Faced with ambivalence from those in power, grief soon gives way to a turbulent quest for answers, led by the unlikeliest of rebels.

A wry, David and Goliath story, told with gallows humour and a strong local accent, about the pain and power of navigating a world which has suddenly, inexplicably changed forever.

A film by Jeanie Finlay.'
