This project came from Sociology professor, Dr. Barb Neis. An expert in matters related to gender and the fisheries, she had organized a conference, bringing in women from around the world to discuss the problems in their particular country as it related to women and fisheries.

It was a herculean feat to film in the four days we had allotted at the conference, which was held at a residential camp on the Salmonier Line, and then to pull a coherent film out of the resulting footage, but somehow it happened.
