SYNOPSIS
A nature reserve on the English Channel is a place of wonder and solace, shaped and haunted by violence. A sensitive look at life on a pebble beach reclaimed from the ocean, Headland interweaves the age-old tradition of sea rescues with contemporary Channel crossings, as witnessed by the last of the Dungeness fishermen.
