This short documentary, beautifully filmed in Indonesia, represents a cautionary tale about a 90-year-old fisherman that sees the ocean’s majesty from his simple life on his small boat. He’s been a fisherman his whole life. In recent years, he started catching more plastic than fish. This has caused him to find new purpose, and it reminds us that our own personal actions make a difference.
