It’ll Never work

Follow fisherman Hans Unkles’ attempts to build the UK’s first Carbon Zero, solar-powered fishing boat. With the help of his fellow fishermen, he dismantles his old vessel and spends almost a year reassembling it as he learns and tests the latest technology. Mistakes blot his path, along with comments and opinions from other fishermen, but Hans is determined to produce the first all-electric boat on the UK Fishing Register.

Taking place in the scenic Argyll village of Tayvallich, this documentary is an entirely locally-made effort from filmmaker Joe Osborn and scored by Argyll composer John Wills. Set sail with one man’s pioneering vision, and the strong community supporting him in his venture.
