There is no argument - we are all water people. 90% of us are water, we live on a blue planet, and scientists say that the closer to water we live, the happier we feel. Patagonia's new film, FISHPEOPLE, is about just those people whose lives are inextricably linked to the challenges of open water.
Directed by Keith Malloy, a former professional surfer and Patagonia surf ambassador, the film follows the stories of several incredible individuals who have dedicated themselves to the seas and oceans. Surfers, swimmers and fishermen, a former mine worker, and at-risk kids are among the film's characters who show us the cleansing power of water in a very literal sense. How does life change when you surrender to the primal element, and water turns out to be the only environment in which you find yourself? The salty depths hide so much more than what we see when we look from the shore. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
The inspiring stories of people whose lives are dedicated to the seas and oceans go hand in hand with the idea of protecting what we love most. Because what the water gives is many - freedom, fun, lack of restrictions, but most importantly - life.
Dare to dive into the endless blue, let the water change you too. FISHPEOPLE will give you an unfamiliar perspective - beyond limitations and expectations, lies a deep, primal meaning of which we were once a part. It is not irretrievably lost, only we have forgotten it.
