They live in Guinea / directed and edited by Jonathan Mednick ; produced by Sharon Zuber, David Essex ; a co-production with WHRO-TV, Hampton Roads Public TV and Other Pictures production
This video tells the story of a hardworking, self-sufficient, fiercely independent community of fishermen and women working the waters of Virginia's Chesapeake Bay. Guinea Neck, a once isolated village, must now grapple with conservationists, government regulators, and the sports fishing industry in order to preserve its way of life. This documentary not only captures the colorful, dynamic character of the Guinea "watermen" and the rhythms of their work and speech, but also traces the complex changes thrust upon their traditional ways by a fast-food society that threatens their ability to live off the water
