This 42 minute documentary on harvesting mollusks in Peru has more soul and beauty in it's presentation than most modern Hollywood movies. The story and cinematography were both impeccable. Thank you for doing it.

Awards are nice. But the reward for filmmakers such as these is not awards. It is telling stories and capturing experiences and moments. Feelings, vistas, sounds, scapes. Textures, patterns, cycles. What is an award? It is an experience utterly disconnected from the art itself. I don't like the idea of mixing the two. Awards are like stock options which trade on films as a commodity. This documentary is what it is no matter what anybody says it is or says about it. That said, they need more awards and recognition. So we can have more documentaries and they can have everything they need to be happy.

Documentaries like these make me realize how privileged I'm. No amount of corporate pressure can be compared to the daily risks these guys take.

To be clear, there is no point in comparing your misery to the misery of others. There is a point in noticing suffering, and feeling compassion for that. There is a point in practicing gratitude. Try to feel grateful on behalf of these folks for the things they have to be grateful for. Imagine them looking at you and feeling compassion for your suffering because they see all the ways in which your body is free but your soul and your mind are restricted. Maybe. Idk you. Point is the exercise and challenging your thinking patterns.

These fishermen risk their lives every day to feed their families. It's a challenging way to make a living, and I have tremendous respect and admiration for them.💚💚💚🙏🙏🙏

I have the utmost respect for these gentlemen

"and we're even happier to be going back home to see our families".. that is the best part of the day.

Mad respect for these men who risk life and limb in order to feed their families, I loved hearing about how much this man loved his job and how he takes it serious every day... There is no complaining of having to get up before dawn to drive to the cliffs, only love for the adventure of it and respect for those who came before him... Thank you for posting this documentary..

Incredible, huge privilege to watch documentary. I hope DW gave these men gifts in exchange for sharing their lives. Peace.

I only wanted to check out the video but ended up watching the whole thing. I was entranced by it. The risks these guys take are incredible and I'm really happy that the plentiful sea rewards them sufficiently. Absolute gold from DW. Thank you all but mostly thanks to the Messi of the sea.

If these men had proper mountaineering gear their lives would not be so much at risk ... It's amazing to me that anyone could climb that far without even a climbing harness to attach them to the rope just the grip of their hands keeps them from falling to their death ... truly amazing

Would they accept proper climbing gear? I am a climber myself often rapelling hundreds of meters down some overhanging rocks. Wouldn't be a big thing to make their job much safer. A fixed anker, a harness, gear to rapell, some prusik slings at least, a Micro traxion. They would be secured all the time. I would be happy to donate some material. If anyone could help get in contact, please do. What is wonderful and touches me is how much he loves his job! Stay safe and happy

I'm sure DW can hook you up with them but you'd have to invest going to Peru and donate. Maybe start a donnation fund and when you meet the goal to finance it all, go there and give them the gears. And if you're a real good person, don't film anything for your gain just minor photos of the encounter. If you want to make it your life, live in Peru and open an import company that sell climbing gear for fishermen, you won't get rich but you might live the life you wanted.

It would still be hand fishing and gathering not mechanized systematic like chinese trowler fleets that take everything from the oceans of the world which i believe is cause enough for global war against china. China has an overpopulation problem that they try to push out to the world instead of solving. The removal of the one child act policy is a declaration of total conquest of the world by china.

Thank you DW for bringing us these excellent documentaries. Nothing but respect for these brave men who prefer to risk their lives than waste them in meaningless jobs like some of us. Personally, I don't see a waste of a life when you do what you like for a living, even if that doesn't pay you so much. Sometimes I feel like I've wasted my life behind a desk, just not to risk supporting my family and when I see this type of jobs that would make me feel alive Sometimes I get depressed but thenI think it is what it is when it comes for a man to support his family. No wonder why they say a rich man is not who owns a lot but who needs the less.

You too are brave and a hero just like these men. One day you'll look back and realize you too have a story to tell! All workers deserve respect because they contribute to the functioning of life itself. Whatever job it is, you are making a difference. Just that there is no one to tell your story, and that's why I have tremendous respect for journalist who bring people information, yet their own contribution easily goes unnoticed.

I thought he was jumping into the churning waves with a rope around his waste for safety, but NO, ... the rope was attached to his gear so he could pull it with him to the other side...WTF!!! RESPECT 🙏

absolutely amazing. What you might not realise is that even though this part of the Peruvian coast is in the tropics, the water is very cold. He's even tougher than you'd first think!

I can not find a words. Just amazing.

@@ericastier1646 Sad truth :(

PURUNGA ERES UN GÉNIO BRODER. Un verdadero atleta. Climbers, walkers and harvesting seafood. That part at around 19:00 when the guy jumps in the water and climbs up a rock, for anyone that has come close to doing that it takes a real next level skill because when the sea sucks in beside the rock you either have to be a real good swimmer or really not be holding on to a rock or even close to it since it will cut you big time and these are live cuts, meaning these cuts get infected pretty fast. Anyway. These guys are next level both in dexterity on their metier as well as being really in tune athletically with the environment they're in. True human beings.

Wow, that was epic! I love the shell fisherman's reason to do what he does: it feels good, he feels alive. There is something for all of us in that choice. It is important to enjoy life and doing so involves taking risks. There is danger but the rewards are great. Thanks for this awesome story! 🙂

The capital Lima has similar cliffs, it's just insane! Peru is known for the mountain but we learned new things today! Gordon Ramsay did a travel cooking show in Peru recently, then i learned that the hot 🌶️ were burning hot, the flavor intensified at high altitude!!! No wonder few thin slices in my chicken noodles you got to me!

May God bless all of the men who work these hard jobs to feed their families... thank you for this doc... really great job..

You see similar fishermen at the Algarve west coast,even its here only 60 mtr deep cliffs,its still dangerous because of the atlantic waves coming in and trying to take you into the sea

27:59 is the part that I love to see & hear :). Hats of to these guys, it requires so much energy & patience.
