When the government offers to resettle an outport fishing community in Newfoundland, residents must unanimously choose between the past and the future. As relationships fray and come undone, retired fisherman Moses Sweetland (Mark Lewis Jones) holds out as the last remaining resident. Directed by Christian Sparkes (Cast No Shadow), and adapted from Michael Crummy's novel, Sweetland brims with striking cinematography, unflinching storytelling, and compelling performances by Mark Lewis Jones, Sarah Canning, Mary Walsh, and Andy Jones.
