An Untidy Package: Women and the Newfoundland Cod Moratorium
An Untidy Package: Women and the Newfoundland Cod Moratorium Free Online HD YesMovies. An Untidy Package sets out to dispel the popular misconception that Newfoundland women weren’t major players in the cod fishery before the moratorium, and that the federal compensation they received was only added to their husband’s claims to increase their family’s allowance. We learn at the outset that one third of the 35,000 workers displaced were women. Using the viewpoint of some of these women, this video examines the cod crisis and its social implications for families.
