Legacy

Legacy is about the old tradition of pilot-whale hunting on the Faroe Island. There exists record from the hunt since 1584, and this hunt have been a part of colouring the sea and culture on this small archipelago. Trough one summer we follow three people: A whale-hunter, fisherman and a musician. Faroe Island is where old traditions meet the present and the new generation is emerging.
