0:45atlantic surf meets jagged coastline
0:48this is typical for newfoundland
0:51the island in eastern canada
0:56[Music]
1:00in the province of newfoundland and
1:02labrador lived just half a million
1:04people
1:05on an area considerably larger than
1:08germany
1:13[Music]
1:15the avilan peninsula extends furthest
1:18into the atlantic ocean and is therefore
1:21the easternmost point of north america
1:28until summer icebergs pass close to
1:31avalon
1:32they break off from the polar ice far to
1:34the north and drift south as they melt
1:38[Music]
1:45one of them got in the way of the
1:46titanic not far from here
1:55the titanic's sos call reached cape race
1:58at the southern tip of avalon on the
2:0114th of april 1912.
2:04in such a wooden hut the radio operator
2:06who received the call for help and
2:08forwarded it to boats near the then
2:10largest ship in the world
2:13712 people could be saved in this way
2:17almost 1500 died
2:19the original radio
2:21hug no longer stands
2:23but a plaque reminds us of the legendary
2:25radio
2:26[Music]
2:31the titanic sank about 300 nautical
2:34miles south of cape race into her
2:37eternal tomb on the seafloor
2:40[Music]
2:43the avalon peninsula is also famous for
2:45its huge bird colonies home to the
2:48largest population of puffins in north
2:50america
2:51one of the favorite animals of canadians
2:54the chicks are fed by their parents for
2:57six weeks after hatching then they make
2:59their first flight down to the water
3:02and from then on they are fully fledged
3:05[Music]
3:10the problem some first flights are
3:13misleading and the chicks land on the
3:15coastal road especially at night always
3:18in early august
3:22[Music]
3:24a rescue team is meeting in a garage in
3:26whitler's bay
3:29so if you catch the bird it's important
3:31to to capture it by holding the wings
3:33like this because the bird's going to
3:35try to fly away so fold them with both
3:37wings
3:39and place them in the box
3:41sabina wilhelm is a biologist and
3:44practices with her daughters
3:46[Music]
3:48the puffin patrol was founded by a
3:50german jurgen xiao
3:52former german head of the hollywood
3:54studio
4:00and then we put the light give me place
4:03the thing
4:05put the light and say hello cutie
4:06everything is fine with you yeah we have
4:09him hold him
4:10so what we're doing then
4:12therefore you need the gloves just hold
4:14it a little bit with your hand of course
4:16leave it like so sometimes you need
4:18someone from the outside to realize you
4:20know what
4:21something's wrong like there shouldn't
4:22be all these little dead puffins on the
4:24road and so their role was really
4:27amazing that they recognized the problem
4:29they researched they figured out what to
4:31do and then they got the community
4:32involved
4:36so
4:37so he's now safe
4:38and
4:40he's not quiet at the moment he's still
4:43picking piggy piggy so you say something
4:45hello my little bird everything is fine
4:47you're going to be right naturally of
4:49course we know there are hundreds of
4:51thousands of birds out there but as in
4:53any society including humans there are
4:55always some who are a little late or do
4:58not make it immediately we have to give
5:00them a little help and that is what we
5:02do
5:02for no one i call you a puff and patrol
5:04bring a lot of good safe first home from
5:07now on i call you puffin patrol you are
5:09great and do a good job and bring the
5:10birth home thank you so much
5:13[Applause]
5:16there only one part of the puffin patrol
5:19the rookies
5:20in all there are dozens of volunteers
5:23out tonight
5:38going to actually drive to the next
5:39community down in tours cove
5:42and
5:42there's a hotel there that has a lot of
5:45lights and we often find puffins there
5:48but we'll just keep an eye as we drive
5:50along the road as well because you never
5:51know where they're going to pop up
5:57already after a few minutes something
5:59noticeable at the roadside
6:07oh no
6:12that's just it's just seaweed and a
6:13stick
6:16seaweed in a stick
6:18looks i get that toughest
6:44at fairyland lighthouse lemons play an
6:47important role for jill curran
6:49jill's grandfather was the last
6:51lighthouse keeper of fairyland
6:53when the lighthouse was no longer needed
6:55it fell into disrepair
6:57in 2002 jill quit her job in the oil
7:00industry renovated the building and
7:03misused the inventory
7:06i'm going to give you that back okay
7:08because that last group came in anyone
7:10else
7:12you're okay
7:17she's now welcoming guests for a very
7:19special picnic where the signal flags of
7:22the past are used again
7:26you take this flag and you put it in the
7:28ground next to you and that's how the
7:29servers will find you just don't go too
7:31far
7:33okay thank you
7:35originally we used to just send people
7:37out for picnics and we'd have person
7:40wearing red shirt you know someone
7:42wearing white you know jacket and it
7:44just got really kind of crazy and people
7:46would run back in and go oh i had a
7:48green jacket on but now i took it off
7:50and i'm wearing a blue shirt so we came
7:52up with the signal flag idea so all
7:54these signal flags would have been
7:55original signal flags were used at this
7:57lighthouse
8:00the complicated system is important
8:02as the hill is huge
8:05dozens come every day
8:07not least because of the homemade
8:09laminate
8:11there's a mix of
8:13six lemons to two oranges
8:15and then that's how and we mix it with
8:16like sugary water
8:20that's our signature drink olivia sorry
8:22i thought that was all
8:25no it's just joking the oranges do
8:27caught the tiredness in it so that's our
8:29secret isn't it yes
8:31yeah we're not allowed to give up
8:32measurements right now no no
8:35[Music]
8:37not only the laminators homemade
8:42every single picnic ingredient is
8:44freshly baked or cooked at the
8:45lighthouse

10:12our business has been successful
10:15and has been for 17 years there will be
10:18plenty going on again today in fairyland
10:20[Music]
10:30the provincial capital saint john's has
10:32a good 100 000 inhabitants almost half
10:35of the population of avalon
10:37st john's is known for its colorful
10:39wooden houses built close to the steep
10:42streets
10:44[Music]
10:53in recent years a few gentlemen with
10:55long beards have also become local
10:57celebrities
10:59[Music]
11:08everyone in newfoundland i'm just gonna
11:10get my bangs worked out a little bit
11:11there
11:15hassan invented the calendar of the
11:17murphys
11:18male mermaids who want to do away with
11:21the common ideas of masculinity
11:25over here we have mark who's getting his
11:27haircut next to me actually
11:29having a great time and you know what
11:30he's not one to normally wear a tail in
11:32public and and he did it
11:36uh and here so we have phillip and we
11:38have taylor taylor is a trans man and so
11:42again it's
11:44you know he embraces his masculinity but
11:45it's a different version of that that
11:47traditionally people wouldn't normally
11:48have embraced and or have considered to
11:51be a real man and he absolutely is
11:55five years ago hassan had the idea for
11:57the cult calendar
11:59in the rough male world of newfoundland
12:01with many fishermen and all workers he
12:04had met some who were not able to cope
12:06with their role as husband father and
12:08partner who were unable to express their
12:11feelings or show weaknesses
12:14and so he founded the club of beards
12:23the last time i saw my face was five
12:25years ago
12:28the intention of the club is breaking
12:30down a lot of harmful masculine
12:32stereotypes what masculinity is supposed
12:34to look like what men are supposed to
12:36look like uh that they should be big
12:38muscular bearded guys the alpha male
12:41when in fact man and masculinity can
12:43look in many different ways
12:49just because someone wears a beard and
12:52they're you know a little bit bigger
12:53doesn't mean they're necessarily mean
12:55or you know like kind of grumpy for us
12:58to get out and wear mermaid tails on the
12:59beach
13:00it kind of it breaks that down for sure
13:03hassan doesn't have much time
13:05for the production of the next calendar
13:07a photo shooting is scheduled
13:10[Music]
13:14in the lighthouse of fairyland the
13:16women's team is now challenged
13:19[Music]
13:29dozens of picnic baskets have to go out
13:32sandwich either with roast beef or
13:34chicken salad
13:36cake and of course the homemade
13:42[Music]
13:46lemonade the search system with the
13:49signal flags is worth its weight in gold
13:52even when fog is rolling in and that
13:55happens here sometimes within minutes
14:00if you want to eat at the lighthouse you
14:02should be weatherproof
14:04even in mid-summer the temperatures
14:06rarely rise above 20 degrees
14:10[Music]
14:15for this you are occasionally rewarded
14:17with a view of a whale
14:19humpback whales like these are usually
14:21the ones that cavort here
14:35this lighthouse
14:37means really everything to me and i
14:40always thought growing up that it was
14:41the most beautiful place in the world
14:43and then when i moved away and traveled
14:45everywhere i went i still felt i'd seen
14:47beautiful places but nothing as
14:49beautiful as this
14:50and so i'm really happy all these years
14:52later to be back and giving people a
14:54reason to come and visit
15:01[Music]
15:08just a few miles away from fairyland is
15:11a fishing village with special rules
15:17the fishermen of petty harbour have
15:19imposed on themselves to use gnats only
15:22at least three nautical miles away from
15:24the harbour to protect the fish stock at
15:26their doorstep
15:27[Music]
15:33[Music]
15:37and something else is different at petty
15:39harbour
15:40every sunday kim oren and leo hearn
15:43teach young women here how to fish
15:45that's rare in canada
16:01you're my co-pilot
16:03okay
16:05you know politics yeah
16:07they drive when the captain falls off
16:10that's right but he falls asleep
16:11probably and you're a cop
16:13he takes over
16:15i say it's a day he saves the day
16:22so what we need to do is develop our
16:24knowledge enough so that we can kick him
16:26out of the boat right um right now he he
16:29has knowledge of the fishing grounds
16:31that virtually is 200 years worth of
16:33knowledge passed down from father to son
16:35father to son and uh they never taught
16:38the women
16:39leo's helping us
16:41and so until we get um
16:43the knowledge of the fishing
16:45spots we usually let leo drive just keep
16:47him happy
16:49yeah
16:50it's nice
16:53so is a parody going to hit over here
16:56jen you want to come up within the
16:57three-mile zone of petty harbor fishing
17:00is allowed only with hand lines
17:02and then you're just going to hold it
17:04still
17:06and then kim explains the technology
17:08lea's just supposed to be in charge he's
17:11not exactly in control of his hunting
17:12instincts though
17:27like [ __ ] yeah no i've seen it you've
17:30never seen nothing
17:32the young women are neighbors of leo and
17:34kim who want to learn the fishing trade
17:36rebecca nolan has been with them the
17:38longest
17:53perfect
17:54awesome so that just means it bleeds out
17:56faster and so it dies quicker yeah the
17:58meat looks better i like that now that
17:59i've learned enough that i can be
18:01teaching other people and i like that i
18:03can pass it on to another girl yeah
18:05i think girls think differently about
18:07the ocean and about fish
18:10jen's just laughing at leo making faces
18:13i think girls think differently about
18:15the oceans and fish and
18:18i don't know we have a lot of issues in
18:19the fishery right now over fishing and
18:22we've got microplastics and climate
18:24change and all that things
18:26and i don't know maybe we just need
18:27people who are thinking differently
18:33get off the line now leo move your foot
18:36leo
18:38actually leo's on her side
18:41the old fella didn't want him out on the
18:42boat because he would have seen like
18:44because they'd know we were having too
18:45much fun well they knew it was easy
18:47right
18:48and uh not easy it was hard work in the
18:49water but it was
18:51in in shoreline
18:53the women looked after all the children
18:55they meant to fish they cooked the meals
18:57they loved water from the whale because
18:59there was no running water they'd do all
19:01this work well you guys are out here
19:03having fun yeah well here having fun
19:05yeah when i was a kid growing up here i
19:06was told that girls didn't belong in
19:08boats
19:09so that that made me that that reminded
19:12me
19:12um
19:14we all belong in a boat
19:29[Music]
19:57fishing of course includes gutting
20:03so i usually start with the head facing
20:05right and then you cut behind the fin
20:08and you kind of go in an upward motion
20:10right behind and she'd end
20:13around there
20:15how you can kind of hear it
20:17as a guide
20:19and pull
20:20down
20:23not too far down
20:40[Music]
20:43the search for stray puffins continues
20:51it's the second night of the season they
20:53haven't found a puffin yet
21:04[Music]
21:08so
21:43there's something moving
21:45all right girls
21:46you have net pretty
21:52[Music]
22:00the young puffin can then be caught
22:02surprisingly easily his eyes are not yet
22:04properly trained
22:17the biggest value as a biologist that i
22:19see is that
22:21not necessarily rescuing but creating
22:23awareness and being more respectful with
22:26nature so i think it all ties in
22:28together but it starts with one single
22:29puppet
22:31their real destination this hotel
22:33complex broadly lit
22:36and the young puffin has lost its way
22:38here it flew three miles across the sea
22:41to the light instead of diving
22:53so these lights out here there's no you
22:55know there's no reason why they need to
22:56be on
22:58personally but you know it's not we
23:00can't enforce it we can only really
23:02encourage people to do it
23:05after all two puffins are now being put
23:08back where they belong
23:10[Music]
23:15along the coast of newfoundland there
23:17are countless small bays and fjords
23:20where the inhabitants lived from fishing
23:22for centuries
23:23even when there were no motorboats
23:30in places like winterton for example
23:32people rode out to the open sea
23:42the typical boats of newfoundland are
23:44the dorys with flat bottom and the
23:46rodneys
23:51in this garage in winterton someone
23:53knows everything about these boats
23:57jerome canning is teaching a family from
23:59florida how to build a boat with their
24:02hands
24:04okay so
24:05let's go
24:06tighten this one
24:08den barter and his two daughters faith
24:10and jesse want to trace their roots by
24:12building such a boat
24:14their ancestors lived here in
24:15newfoundland
24:17a little bit just a little bit more on
24:18this side yeah
24:21hold it holding yeah
24:24what i want to do is reproduce history
24:27that you know he took me out as a you
24:30know my grandfather when i become a
24:32grandfather i want to take off my
24:34grandchild in the boat that we built
24:36here so i just remember that's one of my
24:39earliest memories here in newfoundland
24:41is that he came and took me out to jig
24:45some cod
24:46okay what we're really always doing is
24:48just what dan did we're feel and look no
24:50measuring tape so we can
24:52avoid the measuring tape as much as we
24:54can so we rely on our other senses our
24:58eyes our feel yeah okay everything
25:08now i came into boat building because my
25:11father
25:12he went back fishing and i went fishing
25:14with him and he said to me you can't
25:16stay at fishing drone oh because there's
25:18too many because my two brothers also
25:21came with me
25:22and when they
25:23said our boat is too small we need
25:25another boat
25:26i said i'll build one
25:29jerome had 11 siblings in all he has
25:32been building boats for 40 years
25:35we're gonna put a clamp on the right
25:36here
25:37okay
25:38all right can we take this i'm gonna
25:39mark it yep
25:44it is
25:46incredibly difficult to find
25:48these pieces
25:50here
25:52okay so what we do we laminate
25:55this one is glued to that one which is
25:56glued to this one which is glued and so
25:58on ten of them
26:00they're pressed in a jig and that will
26:02give them shape
26:05okay in the past these bent timbers had
26:07to be laboriously sought in the forests
26:10of newfoundland this is the knee we cut
26:11a number of years ago
26:14so that would sit
26:16this would be anchored into the ground
26:18and this will be coming up into the
26:20trunk
26:22where to find such a piece of wood
26:24the bartus will learn

26:48near saint john's a photo shoot for the
26:50next calendar of the murbys the male
26:52mermaids is pending the august model is
26:56matthew cooper
26:57a huge guy father of two sons
27:01and many misjudge him
27:04i'm a really big dude and growing up
27:06downtown st john's there was a lot of
27:08people were like you're really tall so
27:10i'm going to kick the crap out of you
27:11because you're a fighter and i'm like no
27:13i'm not a little boy
27:15i want to go home and play with my lego
27:18so the idea of taking back masculinity
27:21is huge
27:22especially taking the toughness and the
27:24violence out of masculinity
27:26i think is
27:28amazing
27:30i hate the idea of a real man
27:33that's such a stupid thing
27:38with the costumes and poses the murphys
27:40want to show that men also have
27:42vulnerable and emotional sides
27:53matthew you're so beautiful and you know
27:55it you know it too
27:56you're coy you look at the camera you
27:59know how beautiful you are you know how
28:01beautiful you are
28:02god
28:05not taking manhood so seriously makes
28:08life easier
28:11the stereotypes of what masculinity have
28:13been like uh
28:15result in men being unable to process
28:17emotion
28:18and
28:19being unable to deal with the stresses
28:21of life and family and work situations
28:24[Applause]
28:34yes
28:36[Music]
28:42[Applause]
28:48[Music]

29:18step of traditional boat building
29:23this is the one we're trying to get this
29:24is the big more that we like to have
29:26right here
29:28only those who actually carry a piece of
29:30wood from the forest may claim to have
29:32built a boat according to old father's
29:34custom and that's what dan barter and
29:37his daughters want
29:39the reason i keep coming back is because
29:41of the spirit of acceptance
29:44there's a
29:46culture here that is just really warm
29:48and receptive
29:49and they always make you
29:51feel like you're at home
29:53and that's why i keep coming back even
29:55though my grandfather's passed on

30:08okay you're going to watch it yeah
30:13[Music]
30:18if you imagine the chainsaw wasn't here

30:22really was in the past
30:30[Music]

30:43same age as you same age as you so get
30:46that
30:48so
30:49that's appropriate for the boat huh
30:53you feel bad for you know taking down
30:55such a beautiful tree but at the same
30:57time to have that piece of wood live on
31:00forever in your boat for people to enjoy
31:03for you know
31:05years and years to come okay we're doing
31:07good the boat building of the bartus
31:09takes three weeks a special kind of
31:12annual holiday
31:17[Music]
31:48before the puffin patrol brings the
31:50puffins back to the water they have to
31:52weigh the birds for scientific
31:54evaluation
32:10[Music]
32:12how much
32:13wow minus 30. so 325 320. 325.
32:19325 grams that's massive see how it
32:22looks yes where did you get all the
32:24seeds
32:26big boy oh girl
32:30hey you're biggie one
32:31soon you will be in the water yay
32:35we just put a little rock in the water
32:38but the waves are so high and now we do
32:40have such a great help and
32:43i think it's now in good hands and time
32:45for airfield for me myself to say
32:48goodbye my darling i did my job now the
32:50young people should do this right yeah
32:57seventeen puffins were picked up by the
32:59puffin patrol last night in total
33:01several hundred birds are saved every
33:04august
33:11[Music]
33:16now the helpers are taking them to the
33:18place where they started their flight
33:19last night to gul island
33:22gal island they call it for a reason
33:25but the gulls have to share the island
33:27they live mainly in the steep
33:37so these cliffs slopes here are all
33:39puffin burrows
33:44the puffins need the steep slopes to
33:46take off
33:47they cannot take off in flat terrain
33:54this is where it gets exciting
33:56and dangerous for the young puffins if
33:59they don't die fast they'll be easy prey
34:02for the gulls
34:06the great blind bag dolls definitely
34:08pray they they like to take opportunity
34:10to pray on larger chicks especially
34:11these nicely fat puffin chicks is
34:14certainly a preferred prey item
34:17[Music]
34:20puffins are born to dive less to fly the
34:23first dive of their life is coming up
34:26they have to go down or they'll be eaten
34:35[Music]
34:38that's it
34:39underwater they're fast and maneuverable
34:42that's where they should have been
34:43yesterday instead of on the coast road
34:49this is the first time that they've
34:51actually landed in water going okay this
34:53is where i'm supposed to be i know what
34:54to do now whereas when you thought when
34:56we go look for them at the streets they
34:58look really confused they're like what
34:59am i doing here i don't know what to do
35:00i can't dive so
35:02absolutely this is where they or where
35:04they want to be
35:07[Music]

35:40the beautiful job
35:44the community of new pearlicon wanted
35:47new dories because no one else
35:49participated in the annual regatta the
35:51old boats were just too hard to stay
35:54this is the first time i've ever built
35:56the door building quite a few over the
35:58years that we put a rudder on it
36:00and a keel
36:02paul said that he wanted to make sure
36:04inexperienced roar could keep a straight
36:06line when rolling so the keel and the
36:08rudder aid that straight line and the
36:10rudder aids to turning at the border
36:12[Music]
36:15the new boats are a great success with
36:17villagers putting their oars to each
36:19other all day long

37:29on the outskirts of saint john's the
37:31final photo selection for the murby
37:33calendar is pending hassan and his art
37:35director kourtney wells have to make
37:37some tricky decisions awesome
37:40ready to dive in
37:42yes let's get this thing finished
37:45so here's the cover with all the edited
37:47images um i don't know if yes
37:50um
37:52yeah and so if i keep um going back and
37:55forth on this one
37:56it was this one one serious was shot at
37:59the picnic at the lighthouse
38:01kourtney is unsure whether she wants to
38:03see lemonade or tea in the hands of the
38:05merman this one
38:06is very like front-facing i think the
38:08teacups just add that little something i
38:11think seeing the teacups really adds
38:13like a layer or a dimension i guess of
38:15like
38:16right sensitivity
38:18and stuff i'm pretty sure
38:21the choice is not without its price as
38:24the calendars are extremely popular in
38:26newfoundland
38:27last year more than 200 000 dollars were
38:29collected and donated to an association
38:32to combat domestic violence
38:34in the sunset it was actually incredible
38:37i think it started when we first did the
38:39calendar uh it was just like the thumbs
38:41up or thumbs down we like the photos
38:43as we've had a different caliber of
38:45photographer so we have better quality
38:48photos to choose from
38:49with three calendars in
38:51you start getting an eye for what is a
38:53good photo what people are really going
38:55to respond to and just ultimately what
38:57is beautiful like what's a beautiful
38:58image
39:01with the photos of matthew and the
39:03riverbed the two of them have a
39:04particularly hard time

39:19let's cycle through a couple of them
39:20there
39:21okay that one
39:22they're so good i know this is a great
39:25shoe how many one month is august august

39:42[Music]
39:48do
39:50[Music]

40:03[Music]
40:15when the sun sets before newfoundland
40:17it's time for rituals
40:19this includes the kitchen party and one
40:22thing is not to be missed
40:27the ugly stick
40:30at the top a fantasy head then a bunch
40:33of crown caps
40:39and below necessarily the rubber boot a
40:42musical instrument that only exists here
40:47it's a lot of fun and it's enjoyed a lot
40:50in a lot of houses when you go visiting
40:53but this one this one was made out of a
40:55mop they used it they used glasses a
40:58pipe
40:59which the pipe when i play i usually put
41:01my fingers
41:02through here that way my hand don't slip
41:04down the stick but the real question is
41:07how long did it take you to do this and
41:08how much consumption does it require
41:14rubbing is like this
41:18then could do with a few more lessons on
41:20the ugly stick
41:22pretty ugly wasn't it
41:31[Music]
41:35but the highlight of the evening is
41:37still coming up edgar then son-in-law

41:42therefore being naturalized tonight
