In The Seats With...Cody Westman and 'Hell or Clean Water'

To be able to make real change in the world, sometimes, someone just needs to take one simple step... On this episode we've got even more coming from Hot Docs which kicks off today and we travel to the shores of Newfoundland with director Cody Westman and 'Hell or Clean Water'... It's an almost impossible task that Newfoundland diver Shawn Bath has taken on his shoulders; the task of cleaning up the Ocean floor in his local harbors one stinking tire at a time. Determined to be a part of the solution and no longer a part of the problem he sets himself down a path that takes him to the brink of financial ruin and divorce but his determination is undeniable and good deeds tend to draw the attention of others who want to help. To put it simply this film is a story about trying to make the world a better place... We got the unique pleasure to sit down with Cody to talk about his inspiration for the film, the importance of understanding the environmental impact on the fishing industry that the decades of dumping is having on the province as a whole and why its important to never give up on anything that you truly believe in.
