In Indonesia, the ocean plays a critical role in people’s livelihood; from their food to their careers. But that important life source is under threat from overwhelming amounts of plastic.
Unfortunately, this pollution is fueled from one of Indonesia’s most popular tourist destinations, Bali. This, combined with plastic from the rest of the world, washes up on beaches, gets hooked by local fishermen, and damages marine ecosystems.
This film follows Wayan, a 90-year-old Balinese fisherman using all his resources and knowledge to tackle this growing problem, one net of trash at a time.
This is Voice Above Water, a production from Turning Tides Films.

How much plastic pollution do you see at your hometown beach? Let us know how you want to stop it down below and keep coming back every Tuesday for more films from around the world!
Richer communities need to take responsibilities and actions to preventing and removing pollution because they are hurting poorer communities in the process.
Its not rich vs poor at all. Microplastic in food chain effects everyone
It’s not really about the rich vs poor. It’s about the ignorance of the general population. As Indonesian myself, I can tell u a lot of Indonesians are still ignorant in terms of polluting the environment.
Watch the documentary "Seaspiracy" if you want to learn more about pollution, overfishing, and what you can do to help the oceans.
Georg Carline maybe the earth wanted plastic but didn't quite know how to make it. Then again he explained why life is sacred while explaining while it's not and explained the legit tole government trying make people sound like hypocrites. We want you to not be murdered rest of your life is upto you
@Chatsta And then watch Dominion ofc c:
Thanks for making this documentary. As an Indonesian myself, this is an important concern as Indonesia’s territory is composed of more water than land. I think the concern should be raised to the government and general population in order to protect the sea ecosystem as a lot of Indonesians still ignorant when it comes to pollutions.
I am speechless, but motivated. Thank you for bringing this story SEEKER.
What a Beautiful 😍 Family! I will do my part as best I can!
Such a sad reality
Because most of them will forget this a few minutes after watching the video
Excited for this story.

A bit of feedback. Subtitles are too small to read on my phone.

To my count, if each individual did the same, there could not be any detritus anywhere that it does not belong.
Litter is disgusting.
Take pride in your home, neighborhood, community and the planet.
SEEKER NEW LOGO
Tiny subtitles.

@@Dr.RichardBanks My problem is when that guy was in his twenties thirties he wasn't an social media Internet Twitter Instagram Snapchat Facebook Facebook and all that he was out doing things nowadays everybody everybody has their phone out and is scanning all the social platforms and the platforms and using the Internet pretty much at all times so there's no how do you see time to
@@ZMAN_420 well much like your original statement my cares are going to be *_gone_*
@@Dr.RichardBanks did u see that guy no phone or anything electronic? The whole video? No! He most likely doesn't know about the internet? Why pick up plastic? Don't get me wrong thats great! But the internet shows Data 90% of it is the world is past the point ofno return. Global warming, Record high Meathane levels do Permafrost MELTING. HE WOULDN'T BE HAPPY IF HE KNEW.
Hemp plastic should be a thing why the USA class it as a class A drug totally not suspicious on the part of big Oil
Bro?
Georg Carline . Maybe the earth wanted plastic but didn't quite know how to make it
Although a sad reality that we witness waste pollute out planet, us humans are still part of this nature as a whole, and however we try to separate our species from it, thinking we are special, that these "bad" things we do as humans are our own conscious decisions, we still are undeniably part of this planets ecosystem and in a way may just be playing our part in this universe's story. Maybe someday the planet shall have use of the waste we leave behind long after we are gone.
Blah blah blah
