Featuring a collection of 7 years of footage filmed on Udo Island in Jeju province, Breathing Underwater follows 4 haenyeo women as they hold their breath, diving in the nurturing but ruthless sea to collect seaweed and shellfish to make a living.
Artist's Statement:
This is a story of haenyeo (Korean women underwater divers) and of mulsum (holding one’s breath underwater). Mulsum represents a desire and temptation that could not be contained. This film reveals a tight knit community of haenyeos and explores their lives through 7 years of filming.
