From Emmy Award-winning director Pete Muller comes an intimate journey to the rugged coast of Downeast Maine, where generations of lobster fishermen have built their lives around the sea. Beautifully observed and deeply human, Bucks Harbor goes beyond the lobster boat to explore family, masculinity, vulnerability, and survival in a rapidly changing coastal world. As these fishermen haul their catch from the ocean floor, the film reveals the powerful—and often unspoken—ties between identity, tradition, and the waters that have shaped them for generations.
USA | 2026 | 98 minutes
Director: Pete Muller
Director Pete Muller will join in person for a special post-screening Q&A.

Sponsored by CBC Atlantic with Community Partner Nourish Nova Scotia.
