Haenyeo, wisdom of the sea (English version)

In Haenyeo - wisdom of the Sea, documentary filmmaker Lygia Barbosa tells the story of the Haenyeo, the women of the sea of Jeju Island in South Korea, through the look of the award-winning Brazilian photographer Luciano Candisani.
Courageous, the Haenyeos maintain a centuries-old tradition: they dive using only the air from their lungs in order to harvest marine products. This is how they earn money to raise their children and support their families without causing harm to the environment. The culture of the Haenyeos, recognized by UNESCO as an intangible heritage of humanity, is in decline. More than 80% of the divers are between 65 and 90 years old and currently there are almost no young people entering the activity.

I grew up watching and visiting these remarkable women in Youngdo Island, Busan, where I grew up until tender age of 13. Looking back to my child memories, it was one of the best time I had. I miss seeing them, jump in and out of ocean and seeing and eating their freshly caught sea creatures.

Thank you for your wonderful story of Haenyeo.
I feel the compassion for their life and love of the sea.
As you said, men have accumulated so much wealth and well being but without considering the consequences.
Haenyeo are women of exception and excellence. Their wish to forever live in harmony with the mother nature should be praised and celebrated.

Estava ansioso para assistir o doc completo, só pelas lives e pelos trailers já ficava impressionado, o pulso de vida das Haenyeos é inspirador! Parabéns pelo trabalho, acompanha-las não deve ter sido nada fácil, as fotos ficaram incríveis e passam muito bem a emoção, as dificuldades… simplesmente sensacional!!

Gabriel, meu amigo, uma alegria saber que curtiu o doc. Me desculpa a enorme demora, só agora voltei aqui. Ainda preciso tornar esse canal mais ativo. Você tem razão foi um desafio acompanhar as Haenyeo . Fiz tudo com mergulho livre, como elas. São fotografias feitas em dois minutos. Grande abraço e nos vemos em breve no mar. Valeu!
