Harvester: The California Urchin Diver ExperienceProduced and Directed by Scott Walker and Paul Davies
"Harvester" is a cinematic ocean documentary that explores the variety of
subtle differences that make a California urchin diver's life so unique.
Explore the culture of commercial urchin divers and see how they interact
within their unique community while balancing work, family, and transition
through an array of newly imposed environmental restrictions. The characters
lead us past the traditional fisherman stereotypes, revealing the possible
end of an era and the creation of a new breed of environmentally conscious
divers.
