The Haul and Cast of Being Human with Anna Badkhen

Once upon a time fishermen who launched their pirogues from the coast of Senegal could dip their hands into the ocean and pull out fish as big as their thighs. But in an Atlantic decimated by Anthropocene, fish are harder and harder to find. "The sea is broken," fishermen say. "The sea is empty." How does a changing ocean shape civilizations in flux?

Author Anna Badkhen unveils her magical, non-fiction work Fisherman's Blues and the porous boundary between terra firma and the unfathomable.
