Filmmaker's note
Shrimp fishing has been around me for a long time. My mother’s family was into the shrimp business at it’s highest peak. My grandfather was a sailor and a captain of shrimp boats in Guaymas, Sonora, when I visited them, fishing was always present. It was a world that was always part of me but to which I never got involved because of my lack of understanding and interest. Years later I can see that it defines a part of my history, an unexplored but alive history. Fortunately I have relatives who still are working in the shrimp business, this has allowed my approach to be direct and trustworthy. This documentary, detonated by a personal engine, serves as a bridge to the past through its present.
