I'm a father of four. My wife... oh my, my wife.. this video brought tears to my eyes because she feels very much that her desires have expired, and it breaks my heart. Women are SO STRONG! It's a hidden strength that very few people (men such as myself) can truly empathize with. This made me want to be a better husband, father, and supporter of my wife's dreams and ambitions. Kimi, you're a real hero to me. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to hear this story. Thank you

Babushkiable boohoo what a miracle that two regions that have had cultural and human exchange for millenniums have similar aspects in their culture. I’ve never seen that before anywhere in the world. Grow up and read a little more dude. Everything in japan came from china and korea if you wanna think of it that way and japan has no originality of their own. Cultures move and become localized and turn into something else that is their own, just like how things like karate and ramen are very much japanese things although their histories are pretty short.

@Babushkiable if you study history of jeju you won't say that there are history of them since 14cen it doesn't came from anything many male are dead cause of sea so girls who left sent to sea. not that it came from something they have to go sea. also it is hard condition of farming so sea was the only answer

Last year I read "Island of Sea Women" by Lisa See. I just stumbled across the novel and it made a huge impact on me for so many different reason....more knowledge about the history of South Korea, the Korean war, that this island and the people exist, and this island has been run by women for decades!!! So beautiful!!! I had tears rolling down my cheek through the whole show. Beautiful story!! Thank you, Patagonia, Thank you, Kimi! Thank you to the haenyeo!!

@Babushkiable Do you really want to talk about the history between Korea and Japan? Are you serious?

As a woman, mom and landlocked diver, this tender film speaks to me. Know where your food comes from and honor that. Touch the places where the sun kissed your face and be thankful. Most of all, know that being a mom changes you, yes, but for the better and in ways you can only imagine. Happy Mother's Day, and thank you for this, Kimi.

These women seem to be the same age as my mom! After watching this I'm reminded that sometimes men may be stronger in physical strength, but women are almost always tougher. Great vid Patagucci!

Such a beautifully made and empowering film. These ladies are legends.

As a person who lives in Jeju island, As a person who has a friend who has a Jeju haenyeo as a mother, Thank you very much for this movie. Mother is the one who can be stronger and stronger than anyone else in the world. And it is Jeju Haenyeo who can feel strong mother. Also, thank you for showing the beautiful scenery of Jeju so beautifully. When the pandemic infection of this corona19-virus is over, please come to Jeju and enjoy the beautiful nature. Although I live in Jeju because of my work, Jeju Island is really beautiful and I want to live for a long time, and it is a recommended travel destination. 제주에 살고 있는 사람으로서, 제주해녀를 어머니로 둔 친구를 가진 사람으로서 , 이 영화 깊은 감사와 찬사를 보냅니다 이세상 누구보다도 더 강하고 강해질수 있는 사람이 바로 어머니 입니다. 그리고 그 강인함을 잘 느낄수 있는 어머니들이 바로 제주해녀 입니다.

Teary eyed after watching this. There is so much strength and beauty in what the Haenyeo women do. I pray their tradition lives on. Would love to have the opportunity to meet and dive with them one day. Very inspiring ❤️

Wonderful!!! I’m so inspired by these women. I am 56 years old and feel like I am just getting started in living my best life. There is so much power and beauty and resilience in being fearless, whatever that looks like for each Soul!

This story is one of the most beautiful ones I've seen in a long time. I can relate to the fear of not being this individual anymore, which I know and I love to be and instead just becoming a loving and caring mom. In my opinion, there must be a way to be both at the same time.

I lived in Korea and love free diving myself! I'm a man but despite that I would love nothing more than to spend the day diving with these amazing Korean woman. Bucket list item for sure, if they'd allow me to go with them If you liked the video, give the book, 'Island of Sea Women' a chance! Its a wonderful book that goes in depth on the day to day lives of the haenyo as they find balance in diving and motherhood.

Such a wonderful women and Jeju island. Thanks for making this film.

I am not good at English, so I got help from Google translation. Jeju haenyeo may have been a necessity of survival. Before 1900, Jeju was isolated by the government and there was no traffic. I had to live with the people of the island itself, and I relied on fishing and some agriculture. As the majority of people are engaged in fishing, many husbands have died in accidents such as typhoons and weather changes, and countless mothers have become haenyeo for the family's livelihood. It may be a little different from the present, but it's still a tradition in that history. Perhaps the mother's infinite sacrifice for her family is the history of the birth of Jeju haenyeo.

Just watched this with my daughter...special time. Loved the movie and message.

영상이 너무 아름답습니다 ㅎㅎ 고마워요 파타고니아! Thank you Patagonia!

my favorites are all here. Patagonia and Jeju. its really good to watch video about Jeju and Hyenyeo in this channel! btw i cant understand every words they say. even tho im korean. 파타고니아채널에 제주도가 나온다니! 너무 반갑고 잘봤습니다 ㅎㅎ

ugh as a Korean, this shit made me weep idk why- I see those women like my own mom. also- haenyeos are so bad ass it makes me so proud to be Korean like them- there are women and mothers in their 80s still free diving 365 days a year- someones grandma dives into deep ocean waters and hunts seafood- can't get over it

Why doesn’t this video have 100M views? This is amazing. I wish there were a way for me to learn free diving and spear fishing in my country 😞

언제부터인가 이런 영상을 보면 눈물이난다. 나이를 먹었나 보다.

가슴 뭉클한 영상이에요. 모든 어머니들께 존경을!! 그리고 제주에만 해녀가 있는게 아니라 부산에도 많았고 영동지역 해변가에도 다들 있으셨어요! 마지막까지 제주해녀분들이 남아 있어서 그렇죠! 부산은 이제 해녀분들이 없다네요~!

It's totally touched and inspired to me as a woman who is worrying about a career after having a baby. Thanks, Patagonia and Haenyeo.

This is so wholesome. Every one of them are so excited to talk to her, tell their story, and their love for the ocean. You can see the joy in their eyes and smiles of what they do.

Kimi, congratulations! This short film is so touching. Thank you for making this. Love to all the women and men in this video!

Got the chance to meet these amazing haenyeos in 2016! Can't wait for this!

What a beautiful short video on my mother country! Haenyeo translates to 'sea woman' in Korean, if anyone was wondering :)

Thank you for introducing Jeju. I've never seen such a beautiful introduction video. There are many sacrifices and pains, but I respect them.

Crying now... thanks Kimi and Patagonia for capturing!

Inspiration, real divers. Great story !

We all become part of the story, our consciousness momentarily entwined in the care for the lives of others.. Beautifully filmed, framed, music score and edited.

absolutely beautiful. i need to make Jeju island on my bucketlist top visit👌🏻 and of course fresh conch dishes

Congratulations, Kimi! You certainly chose the best company to be with during your transition to motherhood!

We love you kimmy! You will be a great mom, what a experience it will be, passing on what you know:)

So beautiful. Happy Mother's Day to all the incredible mom's out there!

I have seen a few films featuring about the Haenyo women, but this was a most beautiful cinematic treat! Thank you Kimi and your family to celebrate the Haenyo in Jeju! The strength and beauty of this story made my day!

The world needs more of this!

wow, amazing film ! ... that the man knows that the woman is stronger than we think ...

Thank you Patagonia and Kimmi for bringing these awe inspiring women and their culture to light. 💕🙏

Thank you for this amazing film!!!

I loved the video! Thank you for the awesome video on Henyeo!

Been waiting weeks for this!!!!!

I'd like to say Thank you Kimi & Pantagonia for capturing & sharing my culture! I'm Korean and this reminded me how beautiful and strong those Haenyos are. 'Haenyo' is quite forgotten and the culture is disappearing these days. But I know that free diving in Korea is getting more popular and hope this culture continues.
