About the Film
THE STORY
A fish fry in Palmetto, Florida, taking place every Friday in the parking lot of an African-American church, started when a group of avid fishermen decided that their church mission needed to include a gathering where folks could hang out, share stories and eat some good fish. As the years went by, the fish fry regulars started to feel like a family, both black and white, finding real community in a town ravaged by the ghosts of segregation.
