OF FISH AND FOE is a documentary about a family of net fishermen catching salmon off the Scottish coast and the challenge they face from animal rights activists.
language
There is infrequent strong language ('f**k'), as well as milder bad language including uses of 'prick', 'bastard', 'shit', 'bloody', 'balls', 'ballsy', 'Jesus' and 'hell'.
theme
The fishermen employ traditional methods of catching salmon in nets and when the catch is landed on their boat the fish are killed individually by blows to the head with a small cudgel. The fishermen are also licensed to shoot seals that feed on the salmon and so pose a threat to their livelihood. A fisherman is filmed in the process of shooting a seal although the actual 'kill' is not shown There is also footage of a dead seal, the rotting carcass of a porpoise which has been ensnared in the fishermen's net, and sight of injured birds which have been similarly trapped.
additional issues
There are undetailed references to a person being caught having sex in a car. There are also references to homophobic and racist language being used in a confrontation between a fisherman and an activist; discrimination is not endorsed by the work as a whole.
