A Benghazi fisherman has spent a lifetime fishing at sea but once in a while the verses he catches are bigger than his fish. The distance away from the coast gives him time and clarity to reflect and denounce what is happening in Libya.
This short documentary was made during a SDI documentary workshop in Libya, organised by the British Council.
