How it feels
This documentary follows the horseshoe crab and local fishermen in Kinmen, Taiwan as their coastal habitat is destroyed by a land reclamation project for a commercial port. It shows how the environmental loss is tied to political tensions between Taiwan and China.

What happens
《刪海經》（英語：The Lost Sea）由導演洪淳修所執導的一部紀錄片，歷時五年完成，拍攝地為金門縣後豐港。片名發想自記載怪物故事的中國古籍《山海經》，取其諧音為「刪」海經，來隱喻海中一種名為鱟的古生物，因水頭商港的填海造陸工程，導致海洋整個被填平，最後使鱟與漁人失去海洋的故事。該片觸及的不只是生態環境議題，更以政治經濟的角度來看待鱟，思考台海兩岸之間在政治上的矛盾關係，是拍攝鱟相關紀錄片中少見的影片觀點。影片發表後獲多項國內外獎項肯定。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
