My Village, My Lobster

This powerful and harrowing documentary tells the story of the indigenous Miskito lobster divers along Nicaragua's Caribbean Coast who risk their lives every day diving for the region's most lucrative resource - the Caribbean spiny lobster. Juxtaposing the plight of these Miskito Indians with the commercialization of this type of fishing, the film gives a visual voice to how what we consume casually at a Saturday night dinner has a direct effect on the lives and welfare of those who provide that food for us.
