Zoey Martinson (Dir), 105 minutes, Ghana, Western New York Premiere

Atta Oko has spent his life as a proud traditional fisherman in rural Ghana. When he is suddenly forced into retirement his life takes a whimsical turn as he is partnered with a modern bougie talking fish. As fishy chaos ensues, Atta and his three quirky "Associates" navigate the vibrant streets of Accra, chasing their shared dream of owning a fishing boat.

Overflowing with laughter, magic, and the rich culture of Ghana, The Fisherman is a heartwarming tale of family, resilience, and the enduring spirit of a true fisherman.
