Episode #01

On February 12th we met the people of the village of Kalindi Kunj. They allow us to document with our lens the alarming situation of their river, the Yamuna, also called the “ecologically dead” river “In their faces you will read a single question mark: “why are they here?” and in your mind you will wonder: “how can they survive in this environmentally and socially compromised environment?” (link to article)

Episode #02

On February 27th we talked to the migrant fishermen of the Indian East coast, the Madrasis. Each year, they move to the harbor of Veraval on the West cost, leaving their families for months due to the underdevelopment of the fishing industry of their regions. For the Madrasis “fishing is a gamble”, nowadays they don’t know if they are going to catch anything or not, low wages, labour abuses, miles away from home and family. We should probably be wondering now, how long Madrasis will be able to retrace the rehearsed route from one coast to the other in the deep seas? (link to article)

Episode #03

On February 28th we interviewed Vilap Mice Meyesh, a young Indian guy of twenty-five-years old who decided to come back to his village and community in Vanakbara (Gujarat) after spending years in London to work. To the question “Why did you come back to Vanakbara?” His answer was “Because this is my land and I want to continue what my family has been doing for generations and maybe trying to improve the actual conditions of fishing and the commercial knowledge to protect my community against the massive fishing industry imposed by foreign countries like China and The Emirates.” (link to article)

Episode #04

On March 3rd we met two great men who can represent, now, the hope of Goa fishermen’s community. One is, Benedict Fernandez (92 y.o.), the oldest member of the Ramponkars, the ancient community of Goan fishermen, and the other is Ullas Maurinka, a young fisherman of thirty-three-years-old who lives on the Island of Chorao. Two different generations with the same care, preserving the indissoluble connection between Goans and the fishing activity, despite the daily struggles provoked by social and climate changes.

Episode #05

On March 8th we shared our friendship with Jithu, the youngest fisherman of the village of Kumbalangi (Kerala). A 22-year-old boy able to use accurately the cheena vala, the ancient fishing nets that look like an harmonious kinetic sculptures. Despite the long journeys to attend school and the responsibility to work to help his family, he will never lose his passion and his dreams. In his eyes we saw the tenacity of Sathwika, the heroic figure of the katakhali: the dance theater of Kerala. On his Instagram profile he writes: “No one has the power to shutter your dream, unless you give it to them”. (link to article)
