Fisher Poets is the fascinating story of a unique breed of commercial fishermen who spin tall tales and weave true stories of life at sea through vivid and powerful poetry.

Strong of character and steeped in tradition, these men and women from America’s last great frontier share their passions in tight rhymes and loose verse. We’ll join them at The Fisher Poets Gathering where amateurs and professionals alike prove that what they take from the sea is more than the catch of the day - it’s food for thought. Discover what truly inspires these salty characters as they tell the world how the food on their plate represents a community upon extinction.

Directed and produced by Idaho filmmaker Kendall Nelson, Gathering Remnants features an authentic western soundtrack, and may be a portrait of the last real American cowboys.

This unflinching, thought provoking film profiles, explores, and reveals the lives of real buckaroos – and questions whether the traditional cowboy ways of life can survive in the 21st century. From their home on the range, the cowboys speak for themselves, and reveal their love of the land, disdain for rules, and their surprising and somewhat contradictory views on society. The hours are long and the pay is low, but their lifetimes of hard work are rewarded with freedom, adventure, and a pride that fills their spirits.
