About Patagonia:
At Patagonia, we appreciate that all life on earth is under threat of extinction. We’re using the resources we have-our business, our investments, our voice and our imaginations-to do something about it. - Sport
To the dad: you did a lot more than get her comfortable in the water - you helped her get comfortable in the world. In supporting who she is, you gave the greatest gift a father could give his daughter.
Exactly.. so wonderful x x
Thats what I was thinking. He did more than a lot of other fathers.
Amen!
For reals. I hope I can do that as a mother someday for any kids I might have in my care.

KIMI: [In the sea, Just casually riding a shark to work]
ME: Ahhh, ahhhhh seaweed touched my foot!
WAHAHAH BRUH SAME ;((
I was thinking, of course you can swim towards the shark if it is a tiny one, but you are not going to do that with a white shark...
I think for the first time in my life- I realized what I really want to do. I want to create magic like this documentary did for me. I have no idea how, I’m studying chemistry at the moment 😂 but this really resonated with me. Thank you!
EDIT: Thought I should put in the update 3 years later that I was just accepted into a PhD in Oceanography! Thanks again :-)
How exciting! Good luck finding your purpose Isabella 🙏🏻💕 follow the joy and you'll not go wrong 🧜♀️
im with you in these searching.
@@isabellaferreira6910 .....here's a link to an audio book which is (essentially) all about helping people find/recognise their purpose in life 🌞🍭🌈🦄 good luck my friend
Edit; just realised I didnt actually add the link and now it's not available....link to a summary of the book below 🤦🏻♀️

I've just returned from a surf trip after being out of the water for over ten years. I was suffering with deep trauma so I bought a custom board from a local shaper which in itself was exciting and hit the local beaches. A week later I had a visit from an old friend that I had introduced to surfing 35 years ago and even explored unknown breaks on tropical islands with 20 years ago. Well now he has always remained a hard core grommet and lives for the waves in a place that offers a lot bigger surf than my local break, it didn't matter he drove us down and we test drove the new board. He returned home 4 hours south of me and a few days later he messaged me with the departure dates for an up north trip 12 hours away, where we would encounter those golden tubes we shared in the 90's together! Well I returned last night after surfing my heart out for ten days and swagging it out under the stars. Such an epic trip, totally rejuvenated with a new perspective on life. Immersed in the ocean one never loses sight of the horizon. Bless you my friend and the ocean, between the two you have saved one soul from drowning on land. Thanks for reading and splash on yo ;)
Lovely writing thanks..
I live on an island, the ocean is 10 mins away from me, I love it, but the day to day living stole me away from her, this entire video and your comment, just made me yearn to go to the ocean. I will! Thank you.
Lovely! Unfortunately I don't cross any water that is above my knees. I almost drowned, twice, when I was a little girl, so I have strong phobia for deep waters. I love the natural world though - just enjoy sights of the ocean from a distance (my phone screen) lol
Way to fucking go man 🤟
Black Star Sapphire Atleast overcoming the fear by learning how to swim perhaps? I used to be so fuckin scared of the water and this year i overcame the fear by learning how to swim and trust me it feels so good knowing you finally did it.
sincerely, THANK YOU for making this incredible moving film.
Garet? Cool, hy from Switzerland
The Bucket List Family we agree totally, great presenting!

These people are so lucky that they found their true calling in life.
The ocean brings people together, no matter what walk of life people are from.
You'll never find something you're not looking for. Some of these people were blessed to be born into their true calling, some found it through happy coincidence and others had to find it the hard way. Everybody walks their own road in life. You can give up but never give in. If something's not working for you, ditch it and find something that works better. Don't be a bystander to your own existence. If there's something you want in life, you have to go to it, don't wait for it to come to you.

@Pedro Ivan Sanchez The trick is to acknowledge the role fear played in your life to keep you safe and alive. Fear serves a vital purpose. Then realise that the adults around you taught you, falsely, that fear should be a constant state to keep you locked in. So, existing in a state of fear became a daily habit that you have carried around with you. Consider if constant fear is really needed in the life you have now. Are you safe now? Is your life still entirely dependent on unsafe and fearmongering adults? Can you take care of yourself and make your own life decisions? If so, constant fear is obsolete. Fear became embedded into you; it is not part of who you naturally are. Fear is an emotional and physiological state that effects our thinking. Fear is definitely not your identity. You are the life inside the cage of fear. Once you feel the distinction between yourself and fear, it becomes easier. You can strengthen your sense of self by exploring sensory things, and environments, and movements, and learn what you enjoy, and allow yourself to experience those things. What has value and meaning to you? You have just as much right to enjoy your life as anyone else. Of course, as long as you aren't harming anyone! If you are not, you can have a clear conscience. You don't need to live contained in the old house of fear anymore. You don't need it now. The life inside that house is you. You have the power to just go to the door, walk out and reclaim your life as rightfully yours. You have served your sentence for crimes you didn't commit. Like a bird in a cage with the door open, it is up to you to realise you can just fly out and free. This planet, including the oceans, are your natural home, and you belong here as we all do.
If you die tonight, do you know where you're going? Did you know that Jesus Christ is THE only way to Heaven and He loves you?
Through Him, God offers you a FREE gift - forgiveness. All you need to do is repent, turn away from your sins and evil ways,
from now on put your faith completely in Jesus Christ and be obedient to Him.
Biblical explanation of the Gospel:
God doesn’t want anybody in hell because He loves us, but you must understand why
we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go
there. (Matthew 12:30) ''Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not
gather with me scatters.'' He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteouss, but
rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). God gave us free will and since Adam
sinned in the garden, sin is the nature of our flesh and we ALL have sinned. (Romans 3:23)
The law demands death to those who sin (Romans 6:23).
For someone to be justified before holy God they have to be sinless, that's why everyone need Jesus Christ
for He lived a sinless life.
None of us are good in God’s eyes, because for God good means moral perfection. We all
have broken God’s commandments, we all have sinned in our lives so none of us
are good. ‘’For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is
guilty of breaking all of it.’’ (James 2:10).
Good News is that Jesus Christ lived a perfect, holy, sinless life, Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
He was buried and He was raised from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever
believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.’’ (John 3:16)
We aren’t saved based on our good deeds/works, but only by the grace of God through faith.
''For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -
not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Jesus said ‘’it is finished’’ (John 19:30) just before He died on the cross, which means He paid the fine for our sins
(past, present, future) to be forgiven if we repent and trust in Him.
''What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!'' (Romans 6:15)
''Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out'' (Acts 3:19)
Repentance is a turning away from sin and all evil works, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8).
Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin.
While sorrow from sin is not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10).
Do not play a hypocrite. ''God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all.
If we claim to have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.'' (1 John 1:5-6)
If you have repented and have genuine faith in Jesus Christ then you will receive the gift of Holy Spirit and be born-again spiritually.
(John 3:3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."
When you believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance
until the redemption of those who are God’s possession - to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14)
You are born again with the Spirit of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36)
''You will know them by their fruits'' (Matthew 7)
If you have been truly born-again with the Holy Spirit and He has regenerated your heart, you will desire righteousness -
to do what is good and righteous in God's eyes, to seek God everyday in His Word and prayer, to strengthen your relationship with God.
You will no longer desire to willfully continue living in sin but will want to obey God out of your love for Him because of His amazing grace
revealed to us through the death and resurrection of His Son.
''Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.'' (2 Corinthians 5:17)
''For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.'' (Eph 2:10)
You will have a testimony - of what your life had been before and how has it changed now when you have surrendered it to Lord Jesus Christ.
As a declaration and affirmation of your faith in Jesus Christ, get baptised in water because He commanded us to do so.
In John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.''
''Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit'' (Matthew 28:19)
''Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.'' (Acts 2:41)
''And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also - not the removal of dirt from the body,
but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God - through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,'' (1 Peter 3:21)
''We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that,
just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.'' (Romans 6:4)
''Having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God,
who raised him from the dead.'' (Colossians 2:12)
Please get right with God and start your relationship with Jesus Christ today before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left!
"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32)
Get to know Christ through God's Word - Bible. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you!
Jeremiah 29:13 - ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''
I just love the relationship between the father and daughter. Aww to have had a dad like that would have been magical
Her dad is a real alpha male.. very rare these days.
Very different life styles than the ones we know. A lot of appreciation, I believe this is the way of living.
Do anything I can to keep heavy industry going to stop this lifestyle!
100% bro !!!!
@@robertarundel1294 what... i don't know what you are trying to say, you are going to stop this lifestyle?
They all should stay in their very poor nature western world.
#Sumatra #Borneo #Java #Jakarta #Bali #Lombok #Celebes #Moluccas #Papua #Indonesia
Everything dominantly came from Western world and Middle East. I am not surprised for stupidity, poverty and narrowed mindsets around the world. It came from those very poor nature parts of the world. #world just some truth and facts ;) Really no need kindness as it's only weaken and make people softies and numb.
Also caused overpopulation, too many human but they are all the same dumb donkey.
No one's life worth for real. Life and death are just the game of the universe. They're so deeply programmed to be numb and dumb and controlled by inexistent deities and fear they call as god, evil, etc.
Really they're all delusional and they consider their sickness as normal.
Back in private international boarding school, just after elementary/basic school, I studied psychology as well aside music, languages, organisation, etc not a common school as the standards and lectures are above the average.

🎯
the story about the guy in San Fran volunteering for more than 17 years taking all those adorable at-risk kids to surf had me balling! really touched my heart and inspiring
That was one of my favourite bits as well. I could have easily watched 10 more minutes of them all.
Me too!!! What an amazing person
these at-risk children that they are taking care of could very well be a future marine biologist or a prosurfer....thankful for those wonderful people taking care of these children
Beautiful story x x
I teared up on Eddie's segment. So cool to see someone give kids a chance to get to the ocean and share in something we love so much.
Yes!
I tried to keep it together but finally lost it near the end of that segment 😭❤️
The part touching me must. Investing into the children of today can change our future to the positive in so many ways.
I'm a 34 yo "tough guy" (lol, not really, but may appear that way to some, I suppose) but I legit couldn't stop the tears throughout Eddie's entire segment... I'm actually looking for big brother/ big sister-type programs near me now... it's one thing to be touched, it's another thing entirely to be MOVED to actually act.... kudos to artists who made this and the fish people who MADE this...
Same here. It means so much for the kids' confidence. Very touching and lovely.
Uff.. you guys - honestly, after watching this I have never felt so wrong in a place, so disconnected from everything - nature and myself. This is SO beyond inspiring. It is honey for the heart and a reminder for all those worrying, that the easiest way to happiness is right in front of us. So in awe of this film and the people in it. Thank you for making this
Kudos to Eddie for giving these kids a chance to enjoy life again. I hope that program continues, having a positive environment with positive role models really changes your life as a kid.
This had me in tears so many times. It’s beautiful to see people being so connected to the nature, especially in today’s world when everything is turned upside down. Swimming is my whole life and I can definitely connect with the feelings of these people. Amazing film.
Sameee. I thought i was crazy how emotinaly i got. I feel like i finally know what i love and found my hidden passion. (Started up tearing again :D)
I think it’s dangerous to want such a connection to nature, and I love nature don’t get me wrong, I’m a borderline hippie. But it’s almost disrespectful to our species and to nature itself to want that connection with nature but neglecting to remember the fact that nature doesn’t care about us. It’s a dangerous and unforgiving force, as much as it is beautiful.
I think that’s why humanity is so beautiful, we’re the only species that evolved to fight and continuously overcome nature, we build communities and shelters and technology like no other species has, in order to get out of the elements. I think it’s a beautiful thing to be out in the water and outdoors in general but never forget that nature is not a friend to any life form. Always respect and fear it as much as you admire it.
My Dear Watson
Ummm... where do you think you come from? You are made out of the very elements of nature. It took the very existence of nature to form the cells that gathered to make you.
It is not about getting too close to nature, there is nothing dangerous about it is about remembering we are part of the whole cycle. Once we all remember that then things will come back into balance.
There are laws of nature for a reason and we are the only ones breaking the laws. As humans we definitely have an opportunity to live beautifully. But "overcoming" nature?....That is the quickest surest way for nature to decide we are no longer needed because we break the balance.
Chances are you are simply trolling which is why I am not giving you the pleasure of a direct reply. If you aren't trolling and actually believe what you said, I honour that you have a perspective, but may I suggest you do some research on nature and our part in it? It really is time for opinions to be spouted at reality whithout wanting to do the work of truly knowing something.
Throw your tv..then
@@homosexualitymydearwatson4109 Isn't the danger of it part of its beauty...
Thanks for checking out the CZcams premiere everybody! Loved having the live chat with you all. It's gonna stay on CZcams so enjoy at your leisure and stay safe! If your beach isn't closed, go get in the ocean, it's a free stress relief :) - Keith
Thanks agin, 👍 good work

This hit me
Dear Keith, Thank you so much for your excellent film "Fishpeople." I just saw it on my birthday (5-5-2020) in the middle of our global pandemic and shutdown. This morning I saw my sister for the 1st time in 2 months, remembered our parents, gone long ago, had lunch and chocolate cake in a beautiful cactus garden and remembered to be grateful for one more day. Your film is a love letter to gratitude, to the ocean that was my home, church and cradle for so many years and the place I most long to return to like family. One day soon. I sent the link to your film to many people today who I wish health and gratitude for in my life. I hope it touches a place in their hearts like it did mine. Many thanks and happy birthday! I hope we meet sometime soon on a westerly swell. PK
Beautiful
What a top comment, you sound like such a lovely person! :D The exact kind of person I never get seated next to on a long haul flight, LOL. :( Maybe one day a ray of sunshine and articulation like yourself will sit next to me instead of a flatulent Mr Creosote. Here's hoping! ;)
She just told her story about taking her dinner back from a shark, then they show her hitching a ride on a dorsal fin of a great white...😍
Isn't that a bull shark though? Great Whites are extremely rare in Hawaii, the water is too warm. I could be wrong
It is a great white.
@@JeromeBakerSmoke there's no bull sharks in Hawaii and yes great whites are rare but shes probably way out at sea
She understood the shark and made it understand her
Listen, the story is breathtaking really. And her skills are fascinating to a land-bound guy like myself. But isn't she anthropomorphizing the shark a bit? Suggesting the shark and she had a "moment" and her defiant aura subordinated the shark? The sharks are apex in those water and if it wanted to it could've shredded her. I'm not trying to throw shade but... any sharks experts here?
Taking all those kids to the beach, teaching them to surf, talking to them/guiding them and just allowing them to have fun and exercise whilst feeling safe and looked out for whilst learning an entirely foreign skill is a FANTASTIC thing to do. So cool.
Ah our beautiful majestic ocean, our great equalizer and teacher...how I love and miss you so.

Aww ♡ x x
That was sublime. I am stuck in Australia and can't fly home due to covid-19. The Ocean, long beaches and surf has helped me keep my bearings and given me something to look forward to each week. Thank you for making this....It was moving.

I shed a tear 😢 just watching those kids surf. It is one of the most beautiful things i've seen so far!
Some parts of the movie brought me back to my childhood, when I was spending two months at an island at my grandparent's place, practically living on the sea throughout the summer days. Thank you for this wonderful gift.

Where? Serbia doesn't have a sea :D
Oh, it really is a gift when someone can bring a memory back to life in all it's rich, vivid texture, colour, smell and related emotions, I agree. This was a great documentary. You're so fortunate to have those amazing childhood memories, to even have those experiences for a film to access and pull back to you via this film. I feel the same way. Have a super day dude. :D
I was raised in Hawai'i, and the one thing that I can always remember so clearly is the beaches and the ocean waves. When I was in school, they made us swim in a pool, and I could never quite get comfy, but the days we would swim in the ocean, I was like a fish in the water. When I moved to Washington, it felt as though that channel was closed off from me, and I would sit in our city apartment, 70 miles away from the ocean, and think of what I was missing. A year ago, I moved to one of the islands of Italy, and that love came back so strong. I live two miles away from the ocean, and every day I just want to walk there and never leave. Watching this has only made that love grow stronger. I may not be a 'fish person'; however, I don't think the ocean will ever leave my heart even though there are times where I am not able to be in it. Thank you for the video.
You just put to words everything that I feel about the ocean. I am also not a fish person but being away from the ocean, constricts everything inside of my heart.
I can hear the call even here in the city where I live that requires me to fly 1 hr and 45 minutes to get to the Persian Gulf and it makes me so homesick.
Grace Harvey Italy has not ocean, but sea, its like a swimming pool.Ocean its much fun 😉
Great comment, thanks for sharing. :)
Loved seeing inner city kids getting a view of the infinite possibilities for their lives. I was an inner city kid and I wish this had happened to me. Things have worked out for me, to God be the glory, I pray things work out for these children. Amazing service guys!
This was an amazing film about real people, real journeys and personal stories. I'm glad I came across it.
I agree. It was so inspirational.
The ocean and surfing is a meaningful escape... A gateway to a passion filled life.
Anyone else have goosebumps watching this?
Beautiful vid, bless our magnificent majestic oceans!

Beautiful. I've worked with youth who are in foster care, adoption and homeless in SF and Alameda County for 25 years...thank you for all you're doing for our youth to get them out into nature, Eddie. These youth rarely get out of their ubran neighborhoods and out to the ocean, even just to look at it. God bless you.
"Take my spirit with you..." That was amazing.
I don’t think the story was about the ocean but about the ability of the human mind to disconnect it’s self from whatever type of fear it is presented with and turn it into something positive GREAT VIDEO
Ive always been scared of the water having grown up in the desert. This past year i challenged myself to learn to swim, and then got a job on a cruise in the pacific. I saw the ocean for the first time and when I stepped into it I was overcome with the most beautiful emotion of gratitude. I couldn’t believe such sublime beauty existed
She swims with sharks! What?! I am in tears after seeing such beauty and feeling the passion that these fish people embody. I need to get to the ocean. Thank you for making this film.
That is an incredible film, the best of its kind I have ever seen. It artfully captures what is so hard to express in words about my love for the ocean as a freediver, kayaker, and sailor.
The people who created this masterpiece are gifted people. Thank you so much, this video feels like being created with so much love, passion and purity, it resonated so deeply with my heart that at some point I feel that something has significantly changed within me... Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This documentary deserves an award❤️ I found all the scenes perfect🔥
Returned about a month back from getting my Open Water Diving license. It has been a turbulent ride post returning to the landlocked area I used to call home. Ironically, feels now more alien than open waters. Been reading about, watching documentaries on, and trying to reconnect with the ocean whenever I can post that. Its a wonderful yet agonising experience to be so away from the waters you suddenly started loving. Makes you realise what you actually value in life.
Loved the doc 🤎
This documentary captures the essence of what we swimmers feel but can never put into words. Thank you ❤️ and may you always have bright blue skies and less seaweed freaking you out.
I've been feeling down and lost in life for a while but watching this made me feel happy and calm because in a way, this describes how I feel about the ocean. I wish to go back soon. It's really like getting pulled back home whenever I'm in the water.
this was truly amazing, I felt that I can connect with these people through their stories, I could feel their love just by looking at their eyes! That was incredible. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Thank You for showing this clip, it was really beautiful to watch
Just beautiful! Thanks, Patagonia, for this wonderful production! Long-live Fishpeople! : )
i spend an amazing time discovering those people's stories , thank you
A big thank you, to everyone who was involved in making of this.
That was just so beautiful. It reminded me of why I love the ocean so much, and why I miss it.
This was so touching. Thank you for sharing their lives with us. God bless them all. Beautiful people.
I almost cried, beautiful documentary
Such a beautiful and great story. I've literally cried when they shares their passion towards the water and ocean. Thank you for sharing this epic story on CZcams 🤗
Thank you for watching!
One of the best docs! Sending love, light, and positive energy to everyone!
I learned a lot from this, this is probably the greatest most spiritual video I have ever watched.
This was wonderful, thank you for sharing these stories.
Omg wow. This was absolutely fantastic and brought me so much joy. Made me think about my love for the ocean even more. Thank you.
Thank you for posting this film. It made me feel so homesick because I have always lived by the ocean. There is beauty, gratitude and so much respect in your film. I loved all the stories.
What a beautiful use of an hour. Thank you to all the talented people who produced this film and were featured.
Its just inspiring, I have no words to describe how great of a job you all did. Thank you very much!!
I wanna say just one thing: THANK YOU for a such beautiful gift you gave me.
thank you so much! this film is made of soul! it's a miracle!
This is one of the best videos that I have ever seen! I appreciate a lot the work has been done and also all the characters showing us that there is a better world outside in the ocean 🌊 THANK YOU 🙏👏👍
that was just amazing...sometimes you wonder why you feel so great after playing in the ocean or a bay...it is deeper than you think....this film really pulls out those idea...beautiful
What a beautiful and stunning series of in-depth interviews. So very inspiring, I aim to re-watch this with my 13year old daughter. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This video was amazing. Thank you so much for creating it. I couldn't control the emotions🙌🙌
This was absolutely breath taking. Every story was so deep and personal, everyone sharing a common love for the ocean and respecting it. Gorgeous footage, with positive messages. Saving this one. Thanks for sharing.
Such An Incredible Film-
Thanks For Sharing!
Can’t Wait To Get Back Out There! 💙
Such an awesome display of people's stories. Well done Patagonia! A mesmerizing film!
I grew up in San Diego going to the beach since I was a baby. The ocean is a part of me and I am a part of it. I have this incredible memory of being a child with a group of slightly older kids exploring the rocky shoreline and cliffs just south of la Jolla cove. It was magical! My child's imagination just reveled in the beauty and the adventure of just being in the water among the beautiful rock formations. I was so in tune with that environment! Over the years I have relived those moments as the most precious of memories! This documentary caught some of that spirit and joy!
Amazing documentary! Thank you so much ❤
The most beautiful film I have seen in a while, inspiration, respect. thank you for this experience!
So good to lose yourself in such beauty, an hour so well spent. Thank you ~
THANK YOU for creating this beautiful film. I'm speechless....
Beautifully done!!!! Loved everyone's stories and how they all tie back to the ocean!
These people have heart! Great and amazing, inspiring documentary!
What a beautiful honouring of the ocean and it's resonance with Heart, with Soul!! Thank you for your vision and sharing of our interconnectedness. Pure Love!!
There are no words. Thank you for sharing this brilliant story. I'm reduced to weeping.
Simply thanks again.
Thank you so much for this masterpiece of a documentary! Seldom do I get this sucked in and swept away by tv, by the beauty and grace you are able to let shine through. It stirred something in me. Thoughtprovoking, but on the heart level.
Thank you for creating this absolutely stunning piece of film! it actually made me tear a little to witness the strength of the human spirit. As a person who adores the ocean and its biodiversity way more than what's on land, I always dream of someday living close to the water in a way that allows me to access it so freely like the people in this film
Amazing people, amazing stories and amazingly told and shot. I swear I saw this or something very similar on Netflix a year or so ago but maybe it just also covered some of the same people. Beautiful.
most beautiful and touching documentary I have ever seen. thank you
What a phenomenal film! Way to capture the pure essence of these fish people. While not all of us can swim freely in the ocean like a fish would, this film has given a chance for some to live vicariously through these true champions of the sea. Awards should be given, and props to patagonia for absolutely nailing it.
This was beautifully done. Makes me think about buying a board and start to surf. I am lucky enough to live on an island, might as well give it a shot.
Awesome! Brings back so many feelings and memories of the years I spent chasing waves to emmerse in the rejuvinating waters. As well as the years I spent pulling people from, for them, her deadly clutches. For me it was sharing my joy of being a part of something untameable.
The ocean is the freedom our lives don't have. I miss it so very much. As soon as this stupid lockdown stuff is over my halted plan to go is the first thing my family and I are doing.
Thanks for making this video, second time watching it, can't hold my tears.
I'm blow away by Kimi ~ Mahalo nui for sharing your experience. I grew up in SoCal and this level of understanding and coexistence puts me in total awe.
INCREDIBLE. What a beautiful film!
Oh my.. I'm only 7 minutes in and I'm blown away. What an incredible human..
I don't think I could kill the fish but I'm in awe of Kimi's ability to dive at such depths on one breath and their relationship as Father & Daughter is one that should inspire many other Fathers.
I wish I'd had a similar upbringing. My Father has never been in the Ocean. I have had to find my love for it, myself. What a truly wonderful film.. I'm looking forward to the rest xox
Their peace, their lightness made me feel surrounded, contained in motherly way. Being inside the water is indescribable. Thank you for the beautiful documentary.
oh thank you so much for making this beautiful documentary.
For showing the beuaty of the ocean and people with really deep alive and touching eyes!:)
I LOVE this! Beautiful to watch. I envy the people who have been able to embrace and become part of the sea/ocean life.
Such an amazing doco!! Thank you, coming away so, so inspired.. Arohanui from New Zealand
Awesome!!! Thanks a lot Keith ! A pure moment of serenity, compassion and happiness! Can't wait go back to the ocean afer seeing that film.
Every time I watch this film I am reminded of what life is truly about. That is the greatest gift -- thank you.
This is such a beautiful film. Keith Malloy, you did an amazing job. My favorite section is the Dave Rastovich chapter.
I'm not a surfer, but I love the Dave Rastovich philosophy. Meaningful play...
They could just cut the other pseudo BS and just have the rastovich part. By far the best section as you say
"You can't tell me how to enjoy the ocean". Such truth... we all need that reminder from time to time.
Remarkable. So well done. Thank you for this
This was amazing. So beautiful. Thank You 🌹
Thank you everyone this was an amazing film! Much needed right now.
MY FAVORITE DOCUMENTARY OF ALL TIME! I saw this a couple of years ago on Netflix. It never gets old....I’ve watched several times. Patagonia I SO wish that you’d put out more nature Docs like this one!!! 🎥🍿 AMAZING 🙌🏼💙
Wow, best documentary I’ve ever seen about the ocean.. 👏😍
this clip is absolutely breathtaking...ima just take a moment and appreciate everyone especially the people that go in and help the children in need that is remarkable
Beautiful documentary! Inspiring stories, amazing shots!
Mesmerized by the sea and our potential.
