WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In a quiet Doncaster mining village during the summer of 1994, rumours are spreading about a legendary giant carp in the nearby decoy ponds, prompting Trevor (Varey) to lead a brigade of young friends and neighbours on a fishing expedition…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

A movie that somehow combines the importance of community and a legendary giant fish is more than enough to pique at least one person’s attention.
