Summary
Takes an unflinching look at how the fishery of Newfoundland and Labrador came to be used and abused to the point of destruction as a way to access unemployment insurance, or to "get your stamps." Through the eyes of two reluctant 'stamp fishers', the Johnson brothers, this one-hour documentary takes an unflinching look at a people and a culture left dependent on this 'stamp' policy.
