Des lois et des hommes
Loïc Jourdain
2015 - 106 min - HD - Couleur - Irlande, France

John O'Brien, a fisherman from the small island of Inis Bo Finne in Ireland did not know he would embark on a long crusade when he initiated with an insular group, a European campaign to regain their ancestors right to fish. How could he have measured the magnitude of the task?
Filmed over 8 years, the film tells how this man put himself, as "David against Goliath", in the heart of the new reform of the Common Fisheries in Brussels to try to understand and change the system that took everything from him.
This is the story of a man, the story of a community, a country and all Europe.
