'How We Almost Lost the Iberian Sardine' is about the Iberian sardine and what it truly represents. From collapse to comeback, this small fish shows the power of collective action. Sardines helped build nations, fill tins, and support coastal life in Spain and Portugal. When stocks declined, fishers, governments and scientists formed strong partnerships, guided by science and shared responsibility. Their work proves the power of a small fish, the strength of cooperation across borders, and why this is a fish worth celebrating. This film explores culture, heritage, and livelihoods, showing how sustainability can protect traditions while securing the future of our oceans.
