The Filipino Tribe That Lives Inside a Volcano: • The Filipino Tribe That Lives Inside ...
Lamalera: a remote village of 2 500 people on the southern coast of Indonesia. In this hostile land where nothing grows, people have managed to survive only thanks to a spectacular age-old hunt: the traditional and sacred harpooning of sperm whales. Despite danger and hard lives, the villagers have always been self-sufficient, living according to their traditions, far from globalization. But today, this balance is about to be broken. As people from a neighboring island start fishing with dynamite, the whales are disappearing. With no more whales to hunt, Lamalera is dying.
In order to survive and feed their families, some villagers decide to embrace modernity and start using motors to fish further away from the island. But others want to preserve their traditional way of life at all costs, leading to a serious conflict of generations. Ancient social codes are falling apart. «Everybody for himself» is becoming the new model. Meanwhile, environmental protectionists are getting worried about overfishing and plan to turn the area into a natural reserve. What can we imagine for the last whale hunters? When globalization strikes and people are torn between the preservation of traditions and the need for modernity, discover how an entire village has to confront a new kind of battle, an ultimate battle—for their survival.

Please minimize the use of blurring effect. This is an educational film, and we seem to lose quite a lot of information trying to accommodate a small group who frankly should grow up and accept the uncomfortable reality of blood, violence and death in the natural human heritage that is hunting for food. Great documentary

Villages like this are not affecting the fish population badly . It is the commercial boats coming from as far as China .

Negara kami Indonesia adalah negeri yang sangat kaya akan sumber daya alamnya,namun sayang karena salah kelola dari para pejabatnya maish banyak rakyat indonesia yang hidup dibawah garis kemiskinan.

I stayed there 10 days in 1993! Joined them hunting whale sharks back then. They charged Rupiah 15,000 incl 1,000 for the boat. They practice barter trade with villagers from the other side of the island, bc there soil is not great at all.

I love their way of natural living, no police, no hospital and they're living happily with conflicts. The man made paper money is the evil of all! WWF shouldn't worry about one whale or two they catch to eat. God bless and be with them🙏❤❤

Just leave people alone. This has been their way for generations. Take a closer look at China's overfishing.
