Between the Devil and the Deep

In the shadow of Cape Town, South Africa, a once-thriving fishing community is struggling to survive. The prize catch is not fish, but abalone, a marine snail prized for its purported aphrodisiac properties in China. However, illegal harvesting has put the community at odds with a corrupt police force, poachers, and the environmental consequences of their actions. Against this backdrop, three families are torn between tradition, the promise of new wealth, and the deadly cost of their choices. Between the Devil and the Deep is a documentary that delves into the complex web of human relationships, corruption, and the pursuit of profit at any cost.
