This highly visual program examines the thrilling regional phenomena
of the Cajuns who wade in murky bayou waters to catch huge catfish
and turtles by reaching into hollow logs and stumps with their bare
hands. Friends and family accompany the handfishermen to the bayou
banks for festive cooking, storytelling, music, and to witness this
increasingly rare tradition. This film examines, not only the tradition
itself, but also the impact of dredging on the ecology of the bayous,
drawing the link between cultural and natural resources.
