The Herring Queen

As the world faces a sea change and generations of fishermen face their fate, a Scottish fishing village holds tight to tradition and continues to crown a teenage girl their Herring Queen.

Through the observational lens of a village’s fishy festival, we feel the impacts of a global climate crisis.
