The Haenyeo of Jeju Island

For the past 1000 years, on the remote South Korean island of Jeju, the sisterhood of Haenyeo divers have sustained themselves by hand-harvesting a variety of sea life. In a changing world where 98% of the divers are now over 50 years old, a mother and daughter attempt to restore their relationship while preserving their heritage.
