Plot
This whimsical, entertaining short documentary dives into the wondrous world of The National Lobster Hatchery in Cornwall (UK). The National Lobster Hatchery opened in 2000, to help prevent a collapse in European Lobster populations in the region, following similar collapses in Scandinavia and the Mediterranean. Narrated by Lowenna (a European Lobster), the film follows her journey through the hatchery, and that of here offspring, who start their lives there before being released back into the ocean. Through her eyes, we also meet the passionate people working to protect her species: including Cornish fisherman Dan Gilbert and Head of Hatchery Production Ben Marshall.
