I was scuba diving in apo island a few years back, was about 20-30 feet down, when I suddenly see a little kid with a wooden plank attached to one of his legs, and a fishing line full of fish attached to it. Little dude was just hunting for his lunch. Absolute beast. He couldn't have been more than 12-13 years old.

as a filipina thank you so much for this wonderful documentary! I've always been curious about these people ever since I saw another short documentary a long time ago about how an elder of a Sama tribe who used to join freediving competitions pre pandemic. He would use his winnings to help out his tribe I do believe though I coud be wrong. It great to bring more awareness to another group of people in the Philippines!

This is so cool. I'm Filipino Malaysian and for some reason, I always thought Bajau people are Malaysian because that what I was taught in school. But it makes sense how it meets in the middle. So cool! Thanks for sharing your experience, I look forward to visiting!

"Not a cell phone in sight. Just people living in the moment." I am in awe of how resourceful and skilled these people are. Great film all-around.

As someone from West Africa Benin, it's suprising to see so many similarities with people from my own country, there is a city in Benin called Ganvié that is exactly like the city in the Philippines.

As a malaysian i just found out bajau people are Philippian, I always thought they were orang kepulauan, it seems it meets in the middle, it makes a lot of sense. We've always known them as sea people, we love the bajau people. They dont live as outcasts like you put in your documentary, they are ocean people like orang bugis and are blessed with extraordinary skills, no need of expensive equipment. The parts of malaysia that were restricted were because we malaysia are also strugling. Our seas are also scarce and thus the restrictions are to restore the reefs and wildlife.

Wow, just happen to stumble upon your video. It's nice to see my country being featured. Makes me miss Philippines even more. Subscribed!

The title is misleading. They are NOT outcasts. This is their way of life. They will not leave this place even if offered an option. They would surely return to this habitat.
