    Films such as these are my very favorite. The ones where they live on or near the water and survive from waters and other nature bounty thank you SLICE !

    Love the storytelling,the cinematography, everything was packed for me, and it's right for the boy to have different dreams from the father, the young man is brilliant, I hope the universe leads him where he needs to be.

      @@RS-xo3rb Pescatarianism is an awesome diet as long as the fish is not contaminated by microplastic. This lake probably has little microplastic.

    They have the full documentary on Prime Video under the Curiosity stream if anyone is wanting to watch it.
    Looks like the documentary came out in 2020, so two years have passed. I wonder what Hubert decided to do...

    Their story sounds just like Venice settlement story. But when you translate where they do they always seem more Japanese. We often have way too many documentaries that are still biased to Western standards, it’s nice to see a different perspective or at least less perspective biased one way or the other, it seems that he provides well for his family look at their clothing and their home are immaculate

  • @freedomfreedom6544

    What the child doesn’t understand is that fishing is the only living that will keep him free and independent. One day when his EV is turned off because he didn’t get a shot he will understand but it will be too late.

      @noeltheliberalmillennial4886 2 года назад +7

      Your name is freedom but I don’t think you believe in what it means? If the young man wants to make a living elsewhere, he can do that. He is young and free to make mistakes. Don’t wish him doom and cast your disbelief on him.

    so, they are wearing beautiful pyjamas all day, there is no pollution, they build "homes" for their fish to live in and harvest them sustainable, got a dj at their church(a muslim an christian church nonetheless), and when we all drown because sea levels are rising they just build their houses a bit higher out of the water. they beat modern civilisation at every level

      What this video doesn't show you is stench and filt all over that place. I visited it while in Benin, and it was one of the most disgusting places I've been to ever. That lake is covered in floating feces, dead animals and garbage.

    If fish are only way to eat and make money and theirs 50000 of them,the fish numbers must be low,a lake like can't sustain that number for ever,they might need to stop fishing so fish stocks go up, but what will they do then.
