Summary
This is a film by Jemima Stubbs (By The Tides Media) which documents a protest held on Saltburn beach by activist group ‘Reclaim Our Sea’. The group is primarily concerned with the sewage and waste polluting the oceans, and how this affects the sea life - this is demonstrated through the speech, the protest signs and the writing in the sand that all feature in the footage. The film is mostly taken from the point of view of Rose, a young protestor involved with the group, who also narrates the voiceover.
Description
Rose walks along the beach, under the pier at Saltburn. She is carrying a bodyboard. A cutaway shows Rose at home painting the protest message ‘STOP SEWAGE, SAVE SEAS’ onto her bodyboard. Rose continues to walk along the beach with the bodyboard, used as a protest sign. From the view of a paddle board, dolphins can be seen breaching the water near the shore.

Rose walks along the beach, under the pier at Saltburn. She is carrying a bodyboard. A cutaway shows Rose at home painting the protest message ‘STOP SEWAGE, SAVE SEAS’ onto her bodyboard. Rose continues to walk along the beach with the bodyboard, used as a protest sign. From the view of a paddle board, dolphins can be seen breaching the water near the shore. Rose walks down the pier with her paddleboard. Lining the pier are more protestors who have messages written on their bodyboards/surfboards or hand-made protest signs. Many of the messages include the words ‘Your voice, their voice’. There is a focus on the sign attached to the railing next to an inflatable whale, which reads ‘my home not your toilet’. Rose looks around at the other protestors and carries on walking down the pier. Other protestors are shown engaging with each other along the pier. Two people hold up a banner which reads ‘If the Ocean DIES, We Die’. One protester stands with a megaphone on the pier, reading a speech from a scrap of paper which outlines the group’s stance and the reasons for the protest. A young boy sits on the shoulders of an adult holding a picture he drew of a sea scene. The protestors are shown gathered around together listening to the speech on the pier. They all clap and cheer and raise their protest signs at the end of the speech. One of the protestors bangs a drum near the edge of the pier. Rose is shown running across the beach below the pier, holding her bodyboard. Underneath her, the large message ‘Your Voice, Their Voice’ along with three stick figures is drawn into the sand. From below the pier, a long line of protesters standing above on the pier is shown. Stood on the beach, Rose looks towards the camera, and then turns towards the pier. From above, the words ‘Your Voice is Their Voice’ along with an image of a dolphin is shown drawn into the sand. The long line of protestors is now stood on the beach in front of the acronym ‘#SAS [stands for ‘Surfers Against Sewage’] written in the sand, alongside a logo. The protestors once again hold up their signs and their bodyboards/surfboards which read messages such as ‘save our seas’, ‘protect our oceans’, ‘poop belongs in toilets’ and ‘we need policy change not climate change’. Rose is shown standing on the pier holding her bodyboard, with the aforementioned message ‘Your Voice, Their Voice’ and the stick figure image in the sand, in the background directly below her.
