Walking Under Water

The Badjao are sea nomads living near Borneo. For centuries, they lived on the sea and from the sea. But the fishing industry and diving resorts make it difficult for them to survive. With his uncle Alexan, young Sari goes on his first fishing trip, an initiation into the adult world. Walking Under Water is a fantastic underwater documentary with beautiful imagery and a moving story.

“The film reaches beyond its subject filling its narrative with the grand beauty and awe of cinema. Reminiscent of the classic documentary Robert Flaherty, WALKING UNDER WATER is an exquisite and lyrical experience.” (HOT DOCS Jury)
