Swords

DISCOVERY CHANNEL – Tuesday 18 January, 8.30pm

In the brand new season of Swords, enter the high-risk world of New England’s long line fishermen who hunt swordfish, the magnificent giants of the deep that can weigh 500kg. These men, and a woman, are gamblers, risking all to catch an elusive prey in some of the most dangerous waters on the planet. They are uniformly tough and resilient and they need to be because every day could be their last. As each crew goes in search of giants, follow all the action from their highs and lows to their successes and failures. Will their catch make enough at market to make all the risks worth it?
