A documentary series following the daily lives of the Bajau people of Borneo - a community born on the sea, living on wooden stilt houses above the coral reefs. For generations, the Bajau have lived almost entirely on the water, fishing with spear, diving and holding their breath underwater for lengths most would never be able to. Here, children learn to swim before they can walk. Their connection to the ocean is not just survival - it is identity, it is home.
But unfortunately, there is a darker side to this. Fish bombing destroys the very coral reefs the Bajau depend on. Though their centuries-old culture is known for traditional, sustainable fishing techniques, modern pressures drive some fishermen toward this destructive method. Rising tourism adds its own pressure, turning their homes and traditions into spectacle. With the reefs declining, food becomes scarce and poverty tightens. This threatens a way of life that has endured for generations.
