All Rivers Spill Their Stories to the Sea + Jeanie Finlay Q&A 12A
Fri 4 Dec 2026
When a mysterious tidemark of poisoned crabs & lobsters devastates a small North East fishing town in England, veteran fisherman Stan Rennie’s life is transformed overnight.
Faced with ambivalence from those in power, grief soon gives way to a turbulent quest for answers, led by the unlikeliest of rebels.
A wry, David and Goliath story, told with gallows humour and a strong local accent, about the pain and power of navigating a world which has suddenly, inexplicably changed forever.
East Midlands based documentary filmmaker Jeanie Finlay (Sound It Out, The Great Hip Hop Hoax) will join us at this screening for a post-film Q&A, hosted by QUAD CEO Eleanor Thornley.
“This excellent, enraging documentary by Jeanie Finlay (Your Fat Friend) reveals a local government apparently more concerned with business opportunities than with the community it is meant to serve. Essential viewing.” - The Observer
