The Last Mermaids of Korea(GOFF)
The phenomenally resilient women of Marado Island in South Korea are like no one else on the planet. They are Haenyeo: female divers who make a living by hunting for culinary treasures on the seabed, most of them being middle-aged and elderly women nowadays. Once densely populated across Jeju Island, Haenyeo have seen their numbers dwindle down to a handful of old-timers. Let’s witness the daily lives and extraordinary histories of the Haenyeo as they blossom throughout the year.
