The grandfather of Trevor Marc Hughes, Jack Hughes, navigates the North Arm of the Fraser River and the years of the Great Depression doing the work he loved on the first tugboat he would work on: the Young Hustler. In this historical documentary we not only see the parallels between the Great Depression and the uncertain times we find ourselves in today, but also see the importance of finding useful work, and observe the North Arm of the Fraser in its different moods. The filmmaker connects with his grandfather by learning more about his times, and the river he loved to work on.
