The Fishermen

A mini series based upon the book by Hans Kirk. A classic television drama and a delightful series about life in a remote community on the west coast in a bygone era. A group of fishermen and their families move across the fjord and settle in a small community. Here they thrive and become more and more established, setting the standard for how life should be lived. But not everyone in the families wants to live in this community and tries to break out.

Directed by —, The Fishermen leans on a strong ensemble — Avi Sagild, Jørgen Teytaud, Anne Wedege-Mathiasen — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1977.
