An Oral History, is the story of courageous Norwegian emigrant fishing families of the 20th century, who founded the scallop and crab fisheries on two coasts and made personal sacrifices of boats, lives and limbs. A new kind of emigration, the "pendlers", who went back and forth to Norway, still, and who truly are people of two countries.
