Still Waters

Set in 1993 Newfoundland and Labrador, the narrative explores the devastating impact of the cod fishery's closure on the local community. With overfishing leading to the depletion of cod stocks, the region faces economic collapse and emotional turmoil. Rising suicide rates and increased alcohol consumption reflect the profound despair among the people, who have relied on the fishery for nearly five centuries. The story captures the struggle of a community grappling with loss and searching for hope amidst crisis.
