Punt Wars
Punt Wars is a modern tale about an ancient corner of England. Punts and punting are synonymous with Cambridge but how much do you really know about what goes on on the banks of the river?
In contrast to the tranquil waters and solemn college buildings that line the River Cam, this documentary gives us the inside story about the power struggles at play amongst the chauffeur tour companies vying for the business of millions of tourists.
The boatsmen who work the river, including director James Bayliss-Smith, compete with each other to sell visitors punt tours of the university. It’s a vibrant world full of gentlemanly blaggers and scoundrels and Punt Wars chronicles the commercial and idealogical power struggles of this unique group of boatmen.
An ‘insiders’ account, the documentary follows several independent punt-chauffeurs in a period of existential threat to the industry during a tumultuous time. Cambridge punting is threatened by new regulations and it’s every man (and one woman) for themselves. Presenting a microcosm of wider societal forces, Punt Wars uncovers the secrets of Cambridge’s troubled waters and ultimately asks some difficult questions about our modern world.
The film was shot between 2006-2008 and finished many years later.

    I recall seeing punt war trailer 15 years ago. Finally seeing the actual documentary. What happened afterwards? are there still independent punters in 2024? There used to be a lot of boats picking up in Garrent Hostel Ln in 2010, but doesn't seem to be the same in 2024.

    poppies and cannabis should be human rights like water, food, shelter. we all need medicine and both of these plants can take care of many common issues especially pain and stomach issues. making these plants into stronger chemicals is where the issues start to happen. i am a medical professional and i believe this LOL. we have really screwed up medicine and turned it into a business instead of giving people things that help them. everyone should have the right to grow these medicines and know the correct ways to use them to save lives and stop suffering.

    If god gave a plant powers of healing and good feeling (basically being poisoned) then WHY is it deemed the ‘devils drug’. The only ‘devilry’ is one out of the 8 sins (GREED). And mainly governments can’t TAX it! Can’t beat a good ‘dream maker’ Opium pipe. How can Sherlock Holmes be wrong?

A third of turkeys opium landed in these labs growers in Turkey are still caught periodically selling on the illegal market bur since Afghanistan is now a major source not so much if this changes so will illegal opium in Turkey make it to illegal labs again

    America is so full of shit, the reason why they want it banned is so they can control the pharmaceutical market, poppies are no where near as addictive as the drugs that America sells, like methadone and fentynal and to make things like heroin and morphine is a big process involving other chemicals, if poppies were legal America couldn't control the market and we wouldn't see the big problems like we do now caused by drugs like fentynal and methadone, America has a lot to answer for, and as for the war in Yemen it has nothing to do with poppies, that's another story all together.
