The screenings of “The Fish Belong to the People” on November 29th and 30th at Duke University went swimmingly. Director William Hyler showed the film to Walking Fish, a CSF created by several of the graduate students at Duke University. If you would like to learn more about Walking Fish please visit their website at www.walking-fish.org.
A very special thanks to Josh Stoll for putting the whole event together.

After making the final corrections to the film, the DVD is now available in our store. The full length feature film along with several bonus shorts are included on the disk, so order your copy and check it out before supplies run out!
The Camden International Film Festival was a huge success! Leading up to the premiere director Will Hyler was the talk of the festival doing several newspaper interviews as well as the local news. Then the movie premiered to a completely sold out audience at the Strand Theater, something not yet done in the history of the festival. The buzz leading up to the film wasn’t unfounded and everyone involved with the film couldn’t be more excited.
A big thanks to the CIFF and everyone involved for a great festival and wonderful world premiere!
Our website is currently going through some major changes, so check back later if you can’t find what you’re looking for. The updates should be complete by October 9th, thanks!
Unlike most documentaries of this scope the Fish Belong to the People is a project almost entirely self-funded, meaning the incredible time and costs involved fall to the filmmakers. We've come a long way, but there's more road to cover yet. Contribute to the cost of the project and help get this film with it's important environmental story seen by as many people as possible!
