Film Description:
Set against the shifting tides of the River Thames, this five-minute documentary follows three London mudlarkers from different walks of life. Jason, an architect with years of experience, shares his deep connection to the river’s hidden history. Anne, a social worker, finds joy and companionship in the foreshore alongside her husband. And Oona, a young student, recalls her first find, a beetle, and reflects on how mudlarking helped her navigate grief after losing her mother. Together, their stories reveal how the act of searching in the mud becomes something much deeper: a way to connect, heal, and find meaning in the fragments of the past.
