Wormdigger

Project Status: Development

This short documentary follows a worm harvester from Downeast Maine for a year as he struggles to support his family in a tumultuous and unforgiving industry.

Wormdigger shows a man facing his toughest challenge yet: How much longer will his body allow him to work? Can he pass along his way of life to his sons, as his father did to him? And if the fishing industry collapses around him, how will his family, and his town, survive?
