Gli ultimi cavalieri

Directed by

In the Straits of Messina swordfish hunters chase their preys with harpoons, a hunting technique dating back to the Phoenicians. If we all agree on the importance of saving dying out traditions, then we should also defend and preserve the ancient culture which lies behind this more and more vanishing fishing technique. But not only is a tradition in danger. The Mediterranean Sea and the survival of a species are in danger too.
