6
00:01:44,104 --> 00:01:46,982
[haenyeo] I am a haenyeo.

7
00:01:48,942 --> 00:01:53,780
Haenyeos dive in the ocean
harvesting marine life

8
00:01:53,780 --> 00:01:57,409
using just our own breath.

9
00:02:14,301 --> 00:02:17,763
As haenyeos, the ocean feeds us,

10
00:02:18,805 --> 00:02:22,267
and feels like our mother's arms.

11
00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:32,778
It's more than that, though.

12
00:02:34,154 --> 00:02:39,117
Being a haenyeo is a calling.

13
00:02:42,412 --> 00:02:46,166
Haenyeos are guardians of the sea

14
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,088
and we have protected the ocean

15
00:02:51,713 --> 00:02:54,299
for hundreds of years.

16
00:02:55,592 --> 00:02:58,011
[breathing deeply]

00:04:03,744 --> 00:04:09,541
[haenyeo 2]
Jeju is the homeland of the haenyeos.

18
00:04:15,756 --> 00:04:18,591
Jeju is famous for three things -

19
00:04:20,010 --> 00:04:21,845
rocks,

20
00:04:23,013 --> 00:04:24,681
wind,

21
00:04:24,765 --> 00:04:26,350
[instructor counting]

22
00:04:27,351 --> 00:04:29,269
and women.

23
00:04:29,645 --> 00:04:30,646
[instructor] The other way.

24
00:04:30,646 --> 00:04:35,526
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.

Seven and eight!

28
00:04:44,326 --> 00:04:45,786
[instructor]
Stop acting pretty and just follow me!

29
00:04:48,372 --> 00:04:50,749

30
00:04:53,669 --> 00:04:55,796
- [driver] All aboard!
- [speaks in Korean]

31
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:03,720
Sis, there's a lot of mugwort here.
Please give me some.

32
00:05:12,896 --> 00:05:17,609
[haenyeo 2] This is a job you pour
your heart into.

33
00:05:18,735 --> 00:05:22,114
Passed down from our mothers
and grandmothers.

34
00:05:25,409 --> 00:05:28,370
Even when it's cold or
we don't feel like diving, we still dive.

35
00:05:28,787 --> 00:05:31,206
It's in our bones.

36
00:05:32,749 --> 00:05:34,877
We are women, after all.

37
00:05:42,301 --> 00:05:44,887
[haenyeo 3]
Do you think you can make it up there?

38
00:05:44,970 --> 00:05:46,346
[haenyeo 4] I have to carry it.

39
00:05:46,430 --> 00:05:48,182
[haenyeo 3] Let's do it together.

40
00:05:48,974 --> 00:05:50,601
Put it over here.

41
00:05:53,729 --> 00:05:58,901
[haenyeo 2] The sea has changed though,
and the haenyeos are disappearing.

42
00:06:00,068 --> 00:06:04,990
[haenyeo 5] I feel like the haenyeo
culture is melting away.

[haenyeo 3] In the past, we used rowboats

instead of motorboats
to dive around that island.

49
00:06:50,953 --> 00:06:53,539

[fishing chief] 7:30 A.M.!

58
00:07:30,158 --> 00:07:34,454
[haenyeo 3] Then I'll work for four hours
and come out.

[haenyeo 5] Hope you catch a lot!

60
00:07:37,332 --> 00:07:39,585
[haenyeo 3] Okay, I will!

61
00:07:51,346 --> 00:07:53,223
[haenyeo 6] I couldn't even swim at first.

62
00:07:53,432 --> 00:07:57,060
I couldn't even swim,
but I just loved the sea.

63
00:07:57,853 --> 00:07:59,813
I was trying to avoid doing my chores.

64
00:07:59,897 --> 00:08:02,900
My mom would order
me around at home

65
00:08:02,900 --> 00:08:06,361
whereas when I was in the sea,
I could be free and play.

66
00:08:06,904 --> 00:08:10,741
So I learned to be a haenyeo at 16.

67
00:08:25,923 --> 00:08:28,300
My mother pushed me
to get married at a young age.

68
00:08:28,300 --> 00:08:30,302
I was so obedient

69
00:08:30,302 --> 00:08:32,513
so I did as she said

70
00:08:32,513 --> 00:08:34,847
and I married and stopped diving.

71
00:08:35,307 --> 00:08:37,768
I was naive… too naive.

72
00:08:38,018 --> 00:08:41,563
My husband liked partying.

73
00:08:41,730 --> 00:08:46,026
Perhaps he didn't want to work hard
because he knew he'd die young.

74
00:08:46,443 --> 00:08:48,946
So I went back to being a haenyeo

75
00:08:48,946 --> 00:08:50,197
to survive.

76
00:08:51,281 --> 00:08:54,743
I've worked for fifty-two years.

77
00:08:54,868 --> 00:08:59,248
Now that my life is finally good,
my body is starting to break down.

78
00:08:59,331 --> 00:09:00,165
[laughs]

79
00:09:00,249 --> 00:09:03,669
While my wallet is thick,
my flesh is thin.

80
00:09:04,127 --> 00:09:07,089
That's the irony of life.

81
00:09:20,227 --> 00:09:21,603
[haenyeo 7] Look at this!

82
00:09:21,687 --> 00:09:22,521
[laughs]

83
00:09:23,772 --> 00:09:27,234
Obunjagi - cousin of abalone!

00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:29,152
[haenyeos chattering indistinctly]

85
00:09:45,419 --> 00:09:50,048
[haenyeo 8] Captain, we will take the boat
at 8 o'clock tomorrow.

86
00:10:05,522 --> 00:10:08,567
[Soon Deok] Unloading things from a boat
is hard for my old age

87
00:10:08,567 --> 00:10:10,611
and I hate catching sea urchins the most.

88
00:10:10,611 --> 00:10:12,112
[haenyeos chattering]

89
00:10:12,196 --> 00:10:16,658
- [haenyeo 8] How much per 100 grams?
- [haenyeo 3] 13,000 won per 100 grams.

90
00:10:16,658 --> 00:10:19,036
That's wholesale price, wholesale price.

91
00:10:20,913 --> 00:10:24,333
[Soon Deok] Others might like it
because it makes good money.

92
00:10:24,666 --> 00:10:29,922
After 4 hours of harvesting,
I have to peel them for another 4 hours.

93
00:10:30,297 --> 00:10:33,342
Quick hands can do it in 3 hours

94
00:10:33,342 --> 00:10:36,595
so I am always a burden for my colleagues.

95
00:10:38,222 --> 00:10:41,016
When I catch a lot of seafood,
I don't feel tired.

96
00:10:41,141 --> 00:10:42,601
I don't feel tired at all.

97
00:10:42,768 --> 00:10:45,062
But when I gather only a little,

98
00:10:45,187 --> 00:10:48,106
I feel exhausted and annoyed.

99
00:10:50,734 --> 00:10:52,736
- [haenyeo 9] And you don't earn much.
- I haven't earned anything.

100
00:10:52,819 --> 00:10:54,279
[haenyeo 9 laughs]

101
00:10:54,363 --> 00:10:58,909
But still, I feel happy when I am
in the ocean no matter how much I make.

102
00:10:59,117 --> 00:11:01,912
I get excited, excited.

103
00:11:07,709 --> 00:11:11,338
[Soon Deok] In the old days,
when we were young,

104
00:11:11,338 --> 00:11:13,674
people looked down on haenyeos.

105
00:11:15,843 --> 00:11:20,472
For example, if your husband was
someone influential in the village,

106
00:11:20,639 --> 00:11:25,936
he'd say, "Do you have to work as
a haenyeo and embarrass me?"

107
00:11:42,953 --> 00:11:45,956
[haenyeo 9] Well, I was uneducated,

108
00:11:45,956 --> 00:11:51,503
so I didn't want to reveal
that I am a haenyeo.

109
00:11:51,837 --> 00:11:54,256
[In Sook] When we went to
our husbands' reunions,

110
00:11:54,548 --> 00:11:57,259
we were the only haenyeos there.

111
00:11:57,259 --> 00:12:01,763
While other husbands' wives weren't
haenyeos and looked polished,

112
00:12:01,763 --> 00:12:05,392
our faces were dark from
working out in the sun.

113
00:12:05,392 --> 00:12:09,188
So we were too intimidated
to say a word back then.

114
00:12:09,188 --> 00:12:11,523
[Im Saeng] Our faces were so dark,

115
00:12:12,566 --> 00:12:14,610
makeup couldn't even cover it

116
00:12:14,610 --> 00:12:16,528
so everyone could tell.

117
00:12:17,404 --> 00:12:19,907
- I'm telling the truth.
- It was really embarrassing.

118
00:12:20,699 --> 00:12:23,410
That was a long time ago.

119
00:12:26,205 --> 00:12:28,624
But now… now…

120
00:12:28,957 --> 00:12:31,460
UNESCO recognizes us

121
00:12:31,585 --> 00:12:34,922
so we haenyeos can stand tall.

122
00:12:35,756 --> 00:12:40,260
I'm much more proud to be a haenyeo
now than I used to be.

123
00:12:45,015 --> 00:12:46,725
[engine starts]

124
00:12:52,314 --> 00:12:54,024
[Soon Deok] I do want to continue
working as a haenyeo

125
00:12:54,024 --> 00:12:56,568
because it's fun.

126
00:12:57,069 --> 00:12:59,696
But I'm trying to reduce the amount
of work I do now,

127
00:12:59,696 --> 00:13:04,535
and live the rest of my life volunteering.

128
00:13:07,579 --> 00:13:08,705
Hello.

129
00:13:09,081 --> 00:13:11,583
I am Jang Soon Deok,
your tour guide.

130
00:13:11,708 --> 00:13:14,503
I dive in these waters.

131
00:13:14,503 --> 00:13:17,548
Please walk slowly and carefully here.

132
00:13:17,548 --> 00:13:19,341
There are snakes out here.

133
00:13:19,341 --> 00:13:22,427
Just follow me slowly and steadily.

134
00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:27,432
[Soon Deok breathing deeply]

135
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,405
These are some of our diving spots.

136
00:13:41,697 --> 00:13:44,825
[tourist]
Oh, I see more trash than I expected.

137
00:13:44,825 --> 00:13:47,494
More trash builds up over there
during the winter.

138
00:13:47,578 --> 00:13:50,330
A lot of this pollution comes
from China and Japan.

139
00:13:50,414 --> 00:13:51,623
From mainland Korea too.

140
00:13:58,714 --> 00:14:05,012
When I was young, I never saw trash
like styrofoam in the sea.

141
00:14:05,095 --> 00:14:08,891
Now there are truckloads
of garbage sitting there.

142
00:14:09,808 --> 00:14:14,646
Piles of waste
have been rotting for so long

143
00:14:14,730 --> 00:14:18,442
that dirty liquid flows out of them.

144
00:14:19,067 --> 00:14:26,074
The clean ocean has become polluted
because of things like this.

145
00:14:26,700 --> 00:14:31,955
Haenyeos have endured many hardships

146
00:14:32,039 --> 00:14:34,875
to protect our sea so far.

147
00:14:34,875 --> 00:14:39,338
Why? Because we haenyeos are healthiest
when we're in the sea.

148
00:14:51,642 --> 00:14:55,187
[Joo Hwa] I started when I was 20.

149
00:14:55,187 --> 00:14:59,733
I had to catch a lot of conch
to provide for my family.

150
00:15:01,193 --> 00:15:03,445
Times were hard back then,

151
00:15:03,445 --> 00:15:04,780
and people were poor.

152
00:15:06,865 --> 00:15:09,451
I must have been great at it then too!

153
00:15:09,451 --> 00:15:12,454
When my net got full
from catching so much,

154
00:15:12,913 --> 00:15:15,666
I would just empty it by the shore

155
00:15:15,666 --> 00:15:17,042
and go right back in.

156
00:15:18,001 --> 00:15:19,962
I'm the best at collecting sea urchins.
[laughs]

157
00:15:20,838 --> 00:15:23,173
It brings a good income,

158
00:15:23,173 --> 00:15:25,509
and I can be financially independent

159
00:15:25,509 --> 00:15:27,845
because I am healthy.

160
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:46,530
Hey!

161
00:15:46,822 --> 00:15:49,157
Where is everyone? It's 6:00 A.M. already!

162
00:15:49,241 --> 00:15:51,910
Can you believe this? I got a call to be
here now and they're still on their way!

163
00:15:51,994 --> 00:15:54,663
- They told us to come here at 7:00.
- [haenyeo 10] They said 7:00 A.M.?

164
00:15:54,788 --> 00:15:56,290
Oh no!

165
00:15:56,290 --> 00:15:57,624
The captain said so.

166
00:16:02,171 --> 00:16:04,256
[interviewer] Is there a chance you won't
be able to work today?

167
00:16:04,339 --> 00:16:05,716
Yeah, we may not.

168
00:16:05,757 --> 00:16:08,135
If the elders say no, we can't.

169
00:16:08,886 --> 00:16:11,096
Conch work can be done
in these conditions,

170
00:16:11,305 --> 00:16:12,472
but with sea urchin,

171
00:16:12,931 --> 00:16:16,518
the thorns can pierce your head.

172
00:16:16,602 --> 00:16:20,063
[haenyeos chattering, shouting]

173
00:16:23,984 --> 00:16:25,903
- They're fighting. They're fighting.
- [parking brake clicks]

174
00:16:26,236 --> 00:16:29,489
Who said we start at 7:30 A.M.?!

175
00:16:29,990 --> 00:16:33,410
Joo Hwa!
Why are you just coming now at 6:30 A.M.?

176
00:16:33,410 --> 00:16:36,914
The captain said
we were going in at 6:00 A.M.!

177
00:16:37,122 --> 00:16:38,665
You don't have to shout.

178
00:16:38,665 --> 00:16:40,667
[haenyeo 10] Don't shout?
I'm so pissed I can't help it!

179
00:16:41,376 --> 00:16:43,670
Haeng Ja, cut it out already.

180
00:16:43,712 --> 00:16:45,380
I made a mistake. I made a mistake.

181
00:16:45,422 --> 00:16:48,926
Oh, boy. I made a mistake. I made
a mistake, I beg for your forgiveness!

182
00:16:49,218 --> 00:16:52,012
[haenyeos laughing]

183
00:16:52,095 --> 00:16:54,640
[Joo Hwa] Okay, can we please
get our wetsuits on now?

184
00:17:00,938 --> 00:17:02,606
[haenyeo 11] Can we walk over to the spot?

185
00:17:02,689 --> 00:17:04,023
[haenyeo 12] No! Just get in the truck.

186
00:17:04,023 --> 00:17:04,858
[haenyeo 13] Everyone get in.

187
00:17:06,443 --> 00:17:08,153
[haenyeo 14] Alright, let's go!

188
00:17:12,824 --> 00:17:13,825
[speaks in Korean]

189
00:17:15,993 --> 00:17:19,373
[Joo Hwa] It hasn't been that long since
we began wearing wetsuits,

190
00:17:19,373 --> 00:17:21,290
perhaps about 40 years ago?

191
00:17:23,627 --> 00:17:25,628
We weren't even allowed
to wear flippers then,

192
00:17:25,628 --> 00:17:27,506
in case we caught too much, too quickly.

193
00:17:30,968 --> 00:17:37,641
When we're gone, the younger generation
might start using oxygen tanks.

194
00:17:39,142 --> 00:17:44,648
But for now, we prefer to do things
the old-fashioned way.

195
00:17:44,648 --> 00:17:49,820
Working for hours with oxygen would
lead to over-harvesting anyway.

196
00:17:51,071 --> 00:17:53,448
If you try to collect too much
in one dive,

197
00:17:53,740 --> 00:17:54,658
you'll "eat your breath."

198
00:17:54,992 --> 00:17:56,326
You'll die. You'll die.

199
00:17:57,536 --> 00:18:01,081
And if you go too far out to sea,

200
00:18:01,707 --> 00:18:04,334
the waves become much stronger.

201
00:18:06,295 --> 00:18:09,089
When we dive down, we can get
swept too far out by the current.

202
00:18:12,176 --> 00:18:15,596
Death is always around the corner for us.

203
00:18:20,684 --> 00:18:22,019
[whispers indistinctly]

204
00:18:25,689 --> 00:18:32,696
[Soon-E Kim] Being a haenyeo
is an extremely difficult occupation

205
00:18:32,696 --> 00:18:36,491
particularly because it's so dangerous,
which is why there are so few now.

206
00:18:36,491 --> 00:18:43,498
The young haenyeos have asked,
"Why can't we use an oxygen mask?"

207
00:18:44,249 --> 00:18:46,668
But that is not the way
of the haenyeo.

208
00:18:50,756 --> 00:18:54,676
To collect seafood,

209
00:18:54,760 --> 00:19:00,015
they have to hold their
breath underwater for up to 2 minutes.

210
00:19:06,522 --> 00:19:09,691
Water pressure starts from a depth
of 5 meters underwater

211
00:19:09,691 --> 00:19:16,156
and this water pressure is like a giant
blue glass pushing you down.

212
00:19:16,823 --> 00:19:20,744
The deeper you dive,
the thicker the glass gets.

213
00:19:20,744 --> 00:19:23,080
So when emerging,

214
00:19:23,830 --> 00:19:29,378
you must break through this
"blue glass" with all your strength.

215
00:19:30,045 --> 00:19:35,843
Haenyeos repeat this process
100 to 300 times when diving.

216
00:19:36,426 --> 00:19:38,804
You try ramming your head 300 times a day.

217
00:19:38,804 --> 00:19:43,225
Your head will pound
and it will hurt a lot.

218
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:53,861
When they discover dead haenyeos at sea,

219
00:19:54,152 --> 00:19:59,449
strangely enough, the haenyeo's net is
always full of abalones and other seafood.

220
00:20:00,534 --> 00:20:05,914
As if death lured them
with the bait of luck.

221
00:20:06,373 --> 00:20:10,711
The day they died,
they must have found a jackpot!

222
00:20:37,321 --> 00:20:39,114
[Joo Hwa] I'm tired.

223
00:20:39,781 --> 00:20:42,784
[haenyeo] I'm so exhausted I could die.

224
00:20:45,078 --> 00:20:46,622
[Joo Hwa]
Catching urchins isn't the hard part.

225
00:20:46,705 --> 00:20:48,165
Shelling them is what's difficult.

226
00:20:48,165 --> 00:20:51,460
You've got people who help you!

227
00:20:51,835 --> 00:20:55,589
But who's going to help me?
Do I have to go out and get a husband?

228
00:20:55,672 --> 00:20:56,965
[laughs]

229
00:20:57,049 --> 00:20:58,675
Why is someone calling
me at a time like this?

230
00:20:58,759 --> 00:21:00,719
- [laughs]
- [phone ringing]

231
00:21:00,802 --> 00:21:02,596
It could be a man calling!

232
00:21:02,638 --> 00:21:05,098
Is my dead husband calling?

233
00:21:05,098 --> 00:21:07,476
- Maybe so!
- Forget it.

234
00:21:07,476 --> 00:21:09,895
- Where? Where is it?
- I said forget it.

235
00:21:09,895 --> 00:21:11,605
It's probably nothing.

236
00:21:11,605 --> 00:21:12,773
How would you know?

237
00:21:12,940 --> 00:21:16,443
Just go find me a man to help
shell sea urchins!

238
00:21:16,568 --> 00:21:18,487
- Attach a sign on your back! [chuckles]
- Huh?

239
00:21:18,570 --> 00:21:21,698
"I'm looking for a husband to help me
shell sea urchins!"

240
00:21:22,991 --> 00:21:25,577
I wonder how it will be tomorrow.

241
00:21:25,577 --> 00:21:27,871
I doubt we'll be able to find any urchins.

242
00:21:27,871 --> 00:21:30,958
Whenever it rains, all the wastewater
from the field,

243
00:21:30,958 --> 00:21:33,961
like fertilizers and pesticides
goes directly into the ocean.

244
00:21:33,961 --> 00:21:37,089
The water gets so dirty,
the seagrass is rotting.

245
00:21:37,631 --> 00:21:40,008
It's a serious problem.
There's nothing left to catch.

246
00:21:40,133 --> 00:21:43,262
We keep getting older, and it's getting
harder to make money.

247
00:21:43,762 --> 00:21:46,014
- How are we going to get by?
- [sighs]

248
00:21:49,434 --> 00:21:52,145
[Joo Hwa] When we were young,

249
00:21:52,145 --> 00:21:55,482
there was abundant marine life in the sea.

250
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:05,242
[Yeong Ae] People used to work
collectively as a community.

251
00:22:05,242 --> 00:22:08,579
To catch agar seaweed,
stag seaweed, and hijiki,

252
00:22:08,579 --> 00:22:13,667
haenyeos would work collectively
and share the profits with each other.

253
00:22:15,419 --> 00:22:18,672
[Joo Hwa] We only stopped working

254
00:22:18,672 --> 00:22:22,926
when our breasts got swollen
and we had to nurse our babies.

255
00:22:23,343 --> 00:22:28,307
I don't think this younger generation
has the tenacity to live like we do.

256
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:29,975
They wouldn't want to.

257
00:22:30,934 --> 00:22:32,644
[Joo Hwa]
There is a generational difference.

258
00:22:32,728 --> 00:22:36,773
[Yeong Ae] Yes, that's right.
A haenyeo's life is tough.

259
00:22:38,192 --> 00:22:41,111
This way of life was our only option.

260
00:22:41,612 --> 00:22:44,990
But these days, no one wants
to become a haenyeo anymore.

261
00:22:47,576 --> 00:22:49,703
[haenyeos chattering]

262
00:22:53,832 --> 00:22:56,752
[haenyeo 4] My wetsuit got caught on
this nail and tore.

263
00:22:56,752 --> 00:22:58,045
That's bad luck.

264
00:22:58,045 --> 00:23:00,756
[haenyeo 15] You need to tie that up.

265
00:23:05,219 --> 00:23:08,263
- Show off that figure, girl!
- [chuckles]

266
00:23:12,643 --> 00:23:17,940
[Soon-E Kim] These days
there are less and less women

267
00:23:17,940 --> 00:23:22,277
who dare to risk becoming a haenyeo.

268
00:23:24,363 --> 00:23:28,700
The haenyeo way of life may go extinct.

269
00:23:30,577 --> 00:23:36,166
The 1960s were the heyday
of the Jeju haenyeo.

270
00:23:37,626 --> 00:23:41,296
The number of haenyeos peaked at 30,000

271
00:23:41,296 --> 00:23:44,091
when the population of Jeju was 200,000.

272
00:23:44,967 --> 00:23:49,179
But the number steadily declined

273
00:23:49,179 --> 00:23:53,058
and now there are only about
4,000 haenyeos left.

274
00:23:53,350 --> 00:23:59,857
The remaining 4,000 haenyeos are now
mostly in their 60s, 70s, and 80s.

275
00:24:00,858 --> 00:24:03,944
Only grandmas work in the ocean now,

276
00:24:03,944 --> 00:24:08,866
as if the Jeju sea itself has
aged alongside them.

277
00:24:13,579 --> 00:24:20,502
[Soon Deok] During the Joseon Dynasty,
being a haenyeo was a tough job,

278
00:24:20,502 --> 00:24:22,546
so mostly men did it.

279
00:24:22,963 --> 00:24:27,050
After they found out this was so hard,
men just quit doing this job.

280
00:24:27,050 --> 00:24:29,928
And women had no choice
but to do this job

281
00:24:29,928 --> 00:24:33,140
because someone still needed
to earn an income.

282
00:24:33,432 --> 00:24:37,102
Men can't handle this job.

283
00:24:46,236 --> 00:24:51,158
[Soon-E Kim] For a girl or young woman
to become a haenyeo,

284
00:24:51,158 --> 00:24:57,206
they would start training at age 7
for 10 years in the sea.

285
00:25:00,459 --> 00:25:04,671
They learn how to swim, dive,

286
00:25:04,755 --> 00:25:09,843
breathe, emerge from the water
and breathe out.

287
00:25:09,927 --> 00:25:14,681
They learn how to harvest the seafood,

288
00:25:14,765 --> 00:25:18,477
and where to find it.

289
00:25:19,728 --> 00:25:24,816
Then, once they reach 15-17 years old,
they become a haenyeo.

290
00:25:29,530 --> 00:25:31,532
[haenyeo students counting]

291
00:25:37,538 --> 00:25:39,540
[students continue counting]

292
00:25:44,127 --> 00:25:46,630
[school officer] People harvesting
seaweed, hurry up and get in line!

293
00:25:47,673 --> 00:25:48,799
Group 1! Group 1!

294
00:25:49,383 --> 00:25:50,342
[students] Group 1! Group 1!

295
00:25:51,093 --> 00:25:57,516
[school officer] We were worried about
the rapidly dwindling number of haenyeos,

296
00:25:57,516 --> 00:26:02,604
so we built this school in
Gwideok Village 15 years ago.

297
00:26:02,604 --> 00:26:06,024
And since haenyeo culture
was recognized by UNESCO,

298
00:26:06,108 --> 00:26:08,318
there seems to be a lot of interest.

299
00:26:08,777 --> 00:26:10,988
[haenyeo student 1] Let's go get seaweed!

300
00:26:11,738 --> 00:26:14,658
[Joo Hyun Kim]
So in order to preserve the culture,

301
00:26:14,658 --> 00:26:16,827
we're trying to foster and
teach the next generation.

302
00:26:16,827 --> 00:26:19,997
- [instructors shouting]
- [students chattering]

303
00:26:25,043 --> 00:26:31,300
All the teachers at Hansupul Haenyeo
School are from Gwideok Village.

304
00:26:31,717 --> 00:26:35,762
But haenyeo Kang Joo Hwa,

305
00:26:35,762 --> 00:26:39,266
she is the best diver
out of all the teachers.

306
00:26:40,100 --> 00:26:42,352
She's a "sang-goon" haenyeo.

307
00:26:42,352 --> 00:26:46,398
Those are haenyeos who can dive
deeper than 10 meters.

308
00:26:46,899 --> 00:26:49,443
I'm also pretty strong [chuckles]

309
00:26:49,526 --> 00:26:52,487
but even I can't keep up with
her if we dive together.

310
00:26:53,530 --> 00:26:54,865
[laughs]

311
00:26:54,948 --> 00:26:56,116
[students chattering]

312
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:57,409
[student 2] Whoa, it's cold.

313
00:26:57,826 --> 00:27:00,120
- [student 2 exhales sharply]
- One, two, three!

314
00:27:04,458 --> 00:27:05,292
[student 1 coughs]

315
00:27:05,375 --> 00:27:07,085
I swallowed some water.

316
00:27:07,085 --> 00:27:08,754
[Joo Hwa] You need to swallow
some of this water.

317
00:27:09,296 --> 00:27:11,006
You need to drink this water
to be a haenyeo.

318
00:27:11,924 --> 00:27:13,383
The students tell me,

319
00:27:13,717 --> 00:27:18,514
"You must already know exactly where
the conch and sea urchin live!"

320
00:27:18,889 --> 00:27:21,266
But nothing could be
further from the truth. [laughs]

321
00:27:21,475 --> 00:27:23,977
You need ambition.

322
00:27:23,977 --> 00:27:28,774
The "I'm going to catch more
than others" type of ambition.

323
00:27:28,774 --> 00:27:33,612
You have to keep repeating the process
over and over again until you catch it.

324
00:27:34,154 --> 00:27:35,155
[student 3 grunts]

325
00:27:35,239 --> 00:27:37,407
I can't dive unless our teacher
pushes me in.

326
00:27:37,950 --> 00:27:39,993
[student 4] Teacher, I don't think there's
anything down here.

327
00:27:40,118 --> 00:27:40,953
[Joo Hwa] Hey!

328
00:27:41,328 --> 00:27:42,162
Come here.

329
00:27:42,287 --> 00:27:43,330
I think I'm gonna die.

330
00:27:43,413 --> 00:27:45,749
[Joo Hwa laughs] No, you won't.

331
00:27:46,375 --> 00:27:47,876
- One, two, three!
- [student 4 clearing throat]

332
00:27:52,381 --> 00:27:55,509
[student 5] Today,
they separated the good divers

333
00:27:55,592 --> 00:27:57,177
from the not so good divers, like me.

334
00:27:57,761 --> 00:28:00,347
I mostly just drink seawater. [chuckles]

335
00:28:00,764 --> 00:28:03,642
See this? It says "future haenyeo."
[chuckles]

336
00:28:03,642 --> 00:28:06,603
I guess I'm a future haenyeo. [laughs]

337
00:28:08,105 --> 00:28:10,524
Our teacher is so great. [laughs]

338
00:28:10,524 --> 00:28:12,985
Other teachers are a little scary.

339
00:28:12,985 --> 00:28:15,362
They say, "How do you expect
to become a haenyeo?"

340
00:28:15,362 --> 00:28:18,031
But she's a fun and effective teacher.

341
00:28:19,116 --> 00:28:21,243
[Joo Hyun Kim]
The students get to experience

342
00:28:21,326 --> 00:28:23,871
how hard the life of a haenyeo is.

343
00:28:24,746 --> 00:28:29,334
So far, we have educated about 840 people.

344
00:28:29,334 --> 00:28:34,298
But only about 5% end up
continuing on as haenyeos.

345
00:28:36,592 --> 00:28:38,010
Alright, let's go home!

346
00:28:39,636 --> 00:28:43,682
[Joo Hyun Kim] We can't seem to stop the
disappearance of the haenyeo population.

347
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,233
["NUNU NANA" by Jessi plays]

[song continues playing through phone]

349
00:29:04,369 --> 00:29:06,788
- Wow. This is so hard, isn't it?
- Yeah.

350
00:29:07,873 --> 00:29:10,375
How do they move their bodies like that?

351
00:29:11,627 --> 00:29:13,754
- What do we do? We're doomed.
- We're doomed.

352
00:29:13,754 --> 00:29:15,839
After this, do this.

353
00:29:15,839 --> 00:29:17,674
I'm no expert but straighten
your arm all the way.

354
00:29:17,758 --> 00:29:18,967
Oh, straighten my arm?

355
00:29:19,134 --> 00:29:20,719
- Let's try it one more time. [laughs]
- [laughs]

356
00:29:20,802 --> 00:29:22,221
If we do it one more time,
then we'll be perfect.

- Perfect!

Perfect!

Wow, our captain is so cool.

[laughs]

367
00:29:53,252 --> 00:29:58,215
[haenyeo 16] Growing up, I thought
haenyeos existed only on Jeju Island.

368
00:29:58,674 --> 00:30:01,552
But after moving to Geoje Island,

369
00:30:01,552 --> 00:30:06,682
I realized, where there is sea,
there will always be haenyeos.

370
00:30:08,058 --> 00:30:12,855
But Jeongmin and I were the only
young haenyeos out here.

371
00:30:13,772 --> 00:30:18,527
So, hoping to find people like us,

372
00:30:18,527 --> 00:30:20,863
we made our own YouTube channel.

373
00:30:20,863 --> 00:30:22,865

[song continues]

375
00:30:35,794 --> 00:30:37,212
[Jeongmin] Ooh.

376
00:30:40,215 --> 00:30:41,049
[both] Hello.

377
00:30:42,384 --> 00:30:43,552
- Jeongmin.
- Sohee.

378
00:30:43,886 --> 00:30:44,887
Ready set, go.

379
00:30:44,970 --> 00:30:46,138
Hello, everyone!

380
00:30:46,138 --> 00:30:48,891
- We are the Modern Haenyeos… Jeongmin.
- And Sohee!

381
00:30:48,891 --> 00:30:50,726
Nice to meet you.

382
00:30:50,726 --> 00:30:52,144
It's going to be hot for us today,

383
00:30:52,144 --> 00:30:54,938
because we're harvesting
stone sea pineapples!

384
00:30:55,522 --> 00:30:57,357
[captain] Go in now!

385
00:30:57,357 --> 00:30:58,358
[exclaims]

386
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:02,613
It feels so nice in here.

387
00:31:03,906 --> 00:31:05,199
Look!

388
00:31:05,282 --> 00:31:07,284
[Jeongmin] You caught that already?

389
00:31:07,451 --> 00:31:09,328
[Sohee] As soon as I got in the water!

390
00:31:09,494 --> 00:31:10,746
[Jeongmin] Whoo-hoo!

391
00:31:12,122 --> 00:31:16,835
I used to work in an office from when
I was 20 to 25 years old.

392
00:31:17,669 --> 00:31:20,339
In a stuffy building,

393
00:31:20,339 --> 00:31:22,508
I was tired and burned out.

394
00:31:23,258 --> 00:31:25,302
But since becoming a haenyeo,

395
00:31:25,302 --> 00:31:29,056
I feel comforted and soothed
working in nature.

396
00:31:35,562 --> 00:31:40,150
When I became a haenyeo,
I set the record for being the youngest.

397
00:31:40,150 --> 00:31:44,988
And now I want to set the record
for becoming the oldest haenyeo.

398
00:31:45,614 --> 00:31:46,615
[laughs]

399
00:31:47,366 --> 00:31:48,367
[exhales sharply]

400
00:31:50,536 --> 00:31:51,537
[exhales sharply]

401
00:31:55,916 --> 00:31:59,127
[Jeongmin] I actually didn't know much
about haenyeos.

402
00:31:59,670 --> 00:32:01,338
But 7 years ago,

403
00:32:01,338 --> 00:32:03,924
my husband's company
went out of business.

404
00:32:04,132 --> 00:32:06,218
At the time, I didn't even know
how to swim.

405
00:32:07,219 --> 00:32:08,971
But instead of feeling fear,

406
00:32:08,971 --> 00:32:10,430
I thought

407
00:32:10,514 --> 00:32:13,183
if I can make money off of this,
I want to try.

408
00:32:22,985 --> 00:32:24,444
Obviously, it was difficult at first.

409
00:32:30,117 --> 00:32:31,034
But still,

410
00:32:31,034 --> 00:32:36,248
for a working mom, it's hard to find
a flexible job like this in Korea.

411
00:32:36,957 --> 00:32:38,375
So I kept at it.

412
00:32:45,632 --> 00:32:47,384
[exclaims]

413
00:32:49,803 --> 00:32:51,430
I'm exhausted.

414
00:32:52,931 --> 00:32:59,313
Being a haenyeo is physically
hard and dangerous,

415
00:32:59,313 --> 00:33:00,272
but raising kids…

416
00:33:01,315 --> 00:33:02,316
it's never-ending!

417
00:33:02,774 --> 00:33:07,571
Every mom in the world
knows what I mean.

418
00:33:10,616 --> 00:33:13,076
I'd rather work in the ocean
for 7 hours. [chuckles]

- [child 1] As I grow up?

420
00:33:24,129 --> 00:33:25,339
[Jeongmin's husband] "Grow."

421
00:33:25,422 --> 00:33:26,840
You can just put one vowel here.

422
00:33:26,924 --> 00:33:27,841
[child 2 mutters]

423
00:33:28,634 --> 00:33:30,469
- As I grow up.
- [child 2] As I grow up.

424
00:33:32,054 --> 00:33:33,347
- Who borrowed this book?
- [both] Me.

425
00:33:33,972 --> 00:33:36,266
- Naru, Naru, Naru.
- Lae Won, it was Lae Won.

426
00:33:36,308 --> 00:33:37,309
- [Jeongmin's husband] Huh?
- What is it?

427
00:33:38,018 --> 00:33:38,852
[Naru] Lae Won's.

428
00:33:39,102 --> 00:33:40,395
What is it?

429
00:33:40,395 --> 00:33:43,357
It's about growing breasts and body hair,

430
00:33:43,357 --> 00:33:46,485
- basically a book about signs of puberty.
- [Jeongmin chuckles]

431
00:33:46,485 --> 00:33:48,946
Yeah, I noticed kids are interested
in those things these days.

432
00:33:49,029 --> 00:33:50,030
[Jeongmin's husband] Oh.

433
00:33:50,364 --> 00:33:54,284
- Do Hun, you'll have body hair next year!
- [all laugh]

434

hair and get ready to eat!

- Mine, mine, mine.
- [husband] Wow, you gave him a lot.

438
00:34:10,842 --> 00:34:12,469
[Jeongmin] Please bring this to the table.

439
00:34:13,053 --> 00:34:14,847
- Isn't it tasty?
- [Jeongmin's husband] Yes.

440
00:34:14,929 --> 00:34:16,974
[Naru] I am thankful, yum yum.

441
00:34:18,684 --> 00:34:21,270
[Jeongmin] Since being on YouTube and TV,

442
00:34:21,270 --> 00:34:25,148
my kids, Do Hun, Lae Won and Naru,

443
00:34:25,148 --> 00:34:27,943
love that I'm a haenyeo.

444
00:34:27,943 --> 00:34:30,404
They say, "Mom is the coolest person."

445
00:34:30,404 --> 00:34:32,697
MY MOM IS A HAENYEO

446
00:34:33,197 --> 00:34:39,246
In fact, Naru keeps telling me that
she wants to be a haenyeo.

447
00:34:39,538 --> 00:34:42,791
On one hand, I'm happy to hear that,

448
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,627
but on the other hand,
I don't want her to do it.

449
00:34:45,627 --> 00:34:49,630
Being a haenyeo is such a hard job.

["Love Dive" by IVE playing through phone]

451
00:34:55,721 --> 00:34:57,931
I keep going back and forth…

452
00:34:58,599 --> 00:35:01,059
Actually, don't do this work, Naru.

453
00:35:01,059 --> 00:35:02,519

458
00:35:31,507 --> 00:35:33,967
For all I know, those two are

00:35:34,218 --> 00:35:40,599
the most famous haenyeos
in Geoje, Jeju, everywhere.

460
00:35:41,642 --> 00:35:45,187
They were even invited
to meet the President!

461
00:35:47,272 --> 00:35:50,651
They are the marketing
team of Geoje Island.

462
00:35:53,487 --> 00:35:59,034
But it's actually not good for my business
that they're invited to so many events.

463
00:35:59,034 --> 00:36:04,373
Sometimes it feels like they are
the boss rather than me.

- [Jeongmin, Sohee] Yes!

465
00:36:10,712 --> 00:36:13,632
[Haeng Pyo Lee] So you see them
making YouTube videos while working,

466
00:36:13,632 --> 00:36:14,925
I let them do that.

467
00:36:14,925 --> 00:36:16,260
They do whatever they want.

468
00:36:19,471 --> 00:36:22,558
Move over to the side!
The water current is strong here.

469
00:36:22,975 --> 00:36:26,436
[Sohee] No, we're going to dive here
first and then we'll move!

470
00:36:28,397 --> 00:36:32,985
[Haeng Pyo Lee]
Compared to a team of 5 haenyeos,

471
00:36:32,985 --> 00:36:35,153
just those two yield a higher profit.

472
00:36:35,904 --> 00:36:37,447
I caught another one!

473
00:36:37,948 --> 00:36:39,616
- They're our successors!
- [Jeongmin laughs]

474
00:36:42,578 --> 00:36:44,162
Frankly, my income lately

475
00:36:45,205 --> 00:36:50,669
has been steadily decreasing
year after year.

476
00:36:52,296 --> 00:36:54,715
As recently as 3 years ago,

477
00:36:54,715 --> 00:36:59,595
I was able to catch 100kg worth
of sea pineapples in an hour.

478
00:37:00,929 --> 00:37:04,391
But that's no longer the case.

479
00:37:08,353 --> 00:37:13,775
[Jeongmin] Because of the rising global
temperatures, the ocean is changing.

480
00:37:13,775 --> 00:37:17,321
As haenyeos, we can see this
happen before our eyes.

481
00:37:17,321 --> 00:37:20,449
For example, a species of
small box jellyfish has been found here,

482
00:37:20,449 --> 00:37:22,201
which used to live
in more tropical oceans.

483
00:37:23,827 --> 00:37:26,455
[Sohee] And we try to film that

484
00:37:27,039 --> 00:37:30,334
to warn people of the changes in the sea.

485
00:37:30,334 --> 00:37:32,294
We want people to worry.

486
00:37:34,171 --> 00:37:37,841
[Jeongmin] And there is no marine life
living in the shallow water anymore.

487
00:37:37,841 --> 00:37:41,345
So Sohee and I have to dive deeper.

488
00:37:42,721 --> 00:37:46,725
If this continues, will we,
with only our breath,

489
00:37:46,725 --> 00:37:52,064
because haenyeos by definition
harvest seafood with only our breath,

490
00:37:52,648 --> 00:37:58,695
will we be able to continue
to work this way in the future?

491
00:38:26,014 --> 00:38:28,517
[exhales sharply, whistles]

492
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,186
[Joo Hwa] I won't be able to work
as a haenyeo for a year

493
00:38:31,186 --> 00:38:33,647
because I got into an accident.

494
00:38:35,816 --> 00:38:38,735
I'm thinking I was just unlucky.

495
00:38:51,999 --> 00:38:55,002
I was getting some sea urchin.

496
00:38:59,882 --> 00:39:04,428
And you know those big nets?
I loaded up two of those.

497
00:39:07,222 --> 00:39:08,849
As I went to grab it,

498
00:39:09,224 --> 00:39:13,228
I suddenly slipped near the water.

499
00:39:16,690 --> 00:39:18,734
They put 8 steel pins in there,

500
00:39:19,526 --> 00:39:21,737
and I was in the hospital for 14 days.

501
00:39:21,737 --> 00:39:25,157
They said, if my foot were fingers,
8 out of 10 of them were broken.

502
00:39:25,490 --> 00:39:28,285
I've never had such a
big surgery in my life.

503
00:39:29,036 --> 00:39:30,370
My bad luck.

504
00:39:32,289 --> 00:39:37,044
This is the first time I can't dive.

505
00:39:37,211 --> 00:39:40,506
It was unspeakably difficult
to live this summer.

506
00:39:42,549 --> 00:39:44,927
When I couldn't move,

507
00:39:45,344 --> 00:39:50,682
my friends helped me
plant chives and broccoli.

508
00:39:52,059 --> 00:39:54,937
Everyone in the village
was worried about me

509
00:39:55,312 --> 00:39:58,023
because haenyeos aren't covered
by health insurance.

510
00:39:59,107 --> 00:40:02,486
They say the job is too dangerous
to be covered.

511
00:40:03,695 --> 00:40:06,490
Even the fishing cooperatives
only provide

512
00:40:06,490 --> 00:40:08,575
compensation when haenyeos die

513
00:40:08,575 --> 00:40:11,662
and not a single penny
when we get injured.

514
00:40:12,287 --> 00:40:16,542
What good is money if I'm dead?

515
00:40:16,542 --> 00:40:18,585
That was very disappointing.

516
00:40:19,086 --> 00:40:19,920
Isn't it?

517
00:40:20,337 --> 00:40:22,089
What good is it to be listed on UNESCO

518
00:40:22,214 --> 00:40:24,508
when we can't get any benefits
when we need it?

519
00:40:26,051 --> 00:40:28,846
But other haenyeos are envious
of my situation

520
00:40:29,012 --> 00:40:33,100
because my late husband worked
30 plus years as a civil servant.

521
00:40:33,934 --> 00:40:37,312
So I mostly live off of his pension

522
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:42,359
that comes out every month.

523
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,488
Life just goes on for the living.

524
00:40:58,458 --> 00:41:02,671
[reporter 1, on radio] This is ET Point,
your go-to source for economic news.

525
00:41:02,671 --> 00:41:08,594
The Japanese government has announced
that radioactively contaminated water

526
00:41:08,594 --> 00:41:11,138
that's been stored at the Fukushima
nuclear power plant

527
00:41:11,138 --> 00:41:13,765
will be released into the ocean.

528
00:41:13,765 --> 00:41:18,061
It has provoked immediate alarm
on Jeju Island, which borders Japan.

529
00:41:18,478 --> 00:41:20,898
[reporter 2]
The International Atomic Energy Agency,

530
00:41:20,898 --> 00:41:22,441
which has been verifying the safety
of contaminated water

531
00:41:22,524 --> 00:41:25,152
from Japan's
Fukushima nuclear power plant,

532
00:41:25,152 --> 00:41:26,987
explained that Japan's plan
to discharge contaminated water

533
00:41:27,070 --> 00:41:30,407
meets international safety standards.

534
00:41:30,991 --> 00:41:33,243
[diplomat, in English]
The method Japan has chosen

535
00:41:33,327 --> 00:41:39,917
is both technically feasible
and in line with international practice.

536
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:46,089
Even though the large amount of water
makes it a unique and complex case.

537
00:41:49,343 --> 00:41:52,429
[Soon Deok, in Korean] These are all areas
that us haenyeos dive in.

538
00:41:54,765 --> 00:41:58,894
But it feels like
it'll all be gone in 100 years.

539
00:42:01,355 --> 00:42:06,235
And now Japan is planning to release
nuclear wastewater into the ocean.

540
00:42:06,235 --> 00:42:09,821
We haenyeos are really worried about it.

541
00:42:09,821 --> 00:42:12,699
If they release all of the
radioactive waste into the water,

542
00:42:12,699 --> 00:42:14,826
the damage won't show up immediately.

543
00:42:14,826 --> 00:42:19,164
They should figure out a solution
that is safe for everyone.

544
00:42:19,164 --> 00:42:24,503
But Japan is moving forward with their
plans without consulting other countries.

545
00:42:25,879 --> 00:42:30,008
We've relied on the sea our entire lives,

546
00:42:30,008 --> 00:42:33,971
so this is a grave concern for us.

547
00:42:54,074 --> 00:42:56,702
[in English]
No, just one from the-- Mr. Ban.

548
00:42:57,786 --> 00:43:01,123
- And yours. This is Japanese.
- Mmm.

549
00:43:01,832 --> 00:43:06,170
[Chang, in Korean] There have been two
major nuclear accidents in human history.

550
00:43:06,170 --> 00:43:08,297
There was Chernobyl,

551
00:43:08,672 --> 00:43:12,176
and there was Fukushima.

552
00:43:12,176 --> 00:43:16,638
Since the 2011 nuclear meltdown
in Fukushima,

553
00:43:16,638 --> 00:43:18,557
we have been concerned about

554
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,560
how the disposal of
contaminated wastewater would be handled.

555
00:43:23,228 --> 00:43:25,814
The Japanese government claims

556
00:43:25,898 --> 00:43:28,984
that the contaminated water
can be treated and released,

557
00:43:28,984 --> 00:43:32,905
and the nuclear plant can be
quickly decommissioned.

558
00:43:32,905 --> 00:43:36,325
What the company that operates
the plant is aiming for

559
00:43:36,325 --> 00:43:39,953
is to dilute the concentration
of radioactive materials

560
00:43:39,953 --> 00:43:42,956
by mixing it with an enormous
amount of seawater.

561
00:43:43,332 --> 00:43:47,294
However, the problem is that just because
the concentration is diluted,

562
00:43:47,294 --> 00:43:49,880
doesn't mean that the
radioactivity is gone.

563
00:43:50,589 --> 00:43:52,257
On what basis is it safe to say

564
00:43:52,341 --> 00:43:55,344
that the release
of Fukushima contaminated water is safe?

565
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,931
It is completely unprecedented.

566
00:43:58,931 --> 00:44:01,016
We wanted to meet with the haenyeos

567
00:44:01,099 --> 00:44:06,313
because they are vulnerable
to the impact of the contaminated water.

568
00:44:07,731 --> 00:44:11,443
They deserve to know
all of the information

569
00:44:11,527 --> 00:44:14,071
that is out there
about this urgent situation.

570
00:44:16,740 --> 00:44:18,867
Hello haenyeo aunties.
Is everyone doing well?

571
00:44:18,951 --> 00:44:20,244
[haenyeos] Yes!

572
00:44:20,285 --> 00:44:26,083
I came from an organization that works
for the environment in Seoul.

573
00:44:26,375 --> 00:44:28,877
We have invited two experts
to speak to you

574
00:44:28,961 --> 00:44:32,214
about the contaminated water
from Fukushima.

575
00:44:32,422 --> 00:44:38,720
And we have some other folks from Jeju
who are also working on this issue.

576
00:44:39,346 --> 00:44:42,766
So please ask lots of questions today
about anything you are curious about.

577
00:44:42,850 --> 00:44:43,725
Okay.

578
00:44:44,601 --> 00:44:46,228
[activist, in Japanese] Hello everyone.

579
00:44:46,979 --> 00:44:53,235
I am from the Citizens'
Nuclear Information Center in Japan.

580
00:44:53,902 --> 00:44:58,532
The water is being collected and stored
because of how dangerous it is.

581
00:44:58,699 --> 00:45:03,036
But the Japanese government has said

582
00:45:03,036 --> 00:45:05,789
that they are going to just release this
contaminated water into the sea.

583
00:45:06,331 --> 00:45:08,166
But according to
the Japanese government's plan,

584
00:45:08,250 --> 00:45:10,711
they say it will take
more than 30 years to release it all.

585
00:45:10,711 --> 00:45:15,424
After that,
once the contaminated water reaches Korea,

586
00:45:15,507 --> 00:45:17,259
it will continue to arrive every day.

587
00:45:19,636 --> 00:45:23,265
[in English] This is not something that,
when you're exposed to,

588
00:45:23,348 --> 00:45:25,392
you will see immediate effect.

589
00:45:25,475 --> 00:45:29,938
And our concern is
that the effects of these discharges

590
00:45:30,022 --> 00:45:35,110
will be felt over many hundreds,
if not many thousands, of years

591
00:45:35,194 --> 00:45:39,448
because of the different radioactive
materials that will be discharged.

592
00:45:39,823 --> 00:45:42,868
[in Korean] Even now,
there is no seagrass in our waters.

593
00:45:42,868 --> 00:45:44,912
Coral bleaching is occurring right now.

594
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:50,667
Why is Japan only considering
releasing the water into the sea?

595
00:45:51,835 --> 00:45:54,379
They have a lot of resources.

596
00:45:54,379 --> 00:45:59,635
Couldn't they make a tank big enough
and leave it there for a while?

597
00:45:59,843 --> 00:46:02,596
I knew that the ocean was
becoming very polluted.

598
00:46:02,596 --> 00:46:07,100
But now that I hear Japan is trying
to discharge the wastewater,

599
00:46:07,100 --> 00:46:11,855
I feel like I've been living
my life as a fool.

600
00:46:12,940 --> 00:46:16,777
When the waves are strong,
we end up swallowing seawater.

601
00:46:16,777 --> 00:46:18,362
You should definitely go back
to Japan and tell everyone.

602
00:46:18,362 --> 00:46:20,280
I'll teach anyone who doesn't know.

603
00:46:21,490 --> 00:46:27,204
Ban Hideyuki has worked for over
30 years on this issue.

604
00:46:27,204 --> 00:46:29,540
In particular,
when the Japanese government

605
00:46:29,540 --> 00:46:32,918
decided to try and release
the contaminated water this way.

606
00:46:32,918 --> 00:46:35,546
It isn't easy to dissent from
within that country.

607
00:46:36,255 --> 00:46:39,007
The situation right now…

608
00:46:39,007 --> 00:46:44,012
we are in a situation where we are going
to have to hold a lot of demonstrations.

609
00:46:44,012 --> 00:46:47,099
It's crucial that
we continuously send out the message

610
00:46:47,182 --> 00:46:49,935
"You better do the right thing."

611
00:46:50,602 --> 00:46:54,731
Even if you have to skip one or two
days of work, please come out.

612
00:46:57,568 --> 00:47:01,280
Are you environmental groups
just sitting around idly

613
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,407
waiting for us to fight?

614
00:47:03,407 --> 00:47:05,158
That's not going to work.

615
00:47:05,450 --> 00:47:08,787
We came here today without
knowing anything.

616
00:47:08,787 --> 00:47:11,415
There's a Japanese person speaking
Japanese and someone speaking English.

617
00:47:11,415 --> 00:47:13,208
No matter how much they say,

618
00:47:13,208 --> 00:47:16,628
we can't possibly understand everything
and answer you properly right now.

619
00:47:16,628 --> 00:47:17,754
[haenyeos chattering]

620
00:47:17,838 --> 00:47:19,798
You're talking nonsense!

621
00:47:20,424 --> 00:47:23,385
[presenter] It seems that the two most
hardworking men today,

622
00:47:23,385 --> 00:47:26,388
Mr. Ban Hideyuki and Director Kim Jeong
Do, are receiving the most criticism.

623
00:47:26,471 --> 00:47:27,723
The two most hardworking people.

624
00:47:27,806 --> 00:47:29,474
The two who have been working the hardest.

625
00:47:29,474 --> 00:47:32,728
We can't keep bickering here.
We need to come together.

626
00:47:32,728 --> 00:47:38,025
If we're fighting like this here,
how will we ever pull off a demonstration?

627
00:47:40,903 --> 00:47:44,072
[haenyeo 5] We must stop this. Absolutely.

628
00:47:44,531 --> 00:47:46,200
Everyone needs to stand up and join in.

629
00:47:46,283 --> 00:47:49,203
We can't let the people up top
prevent us from doing that.

630
00:47:49,203 --> 00:47:51,622
We all must come out and
hold a demonstration

631
00:47:51,663 --> 00:47:53,916
together on the same day in Jeju.

632
00:47:53,957 --> 00:47:57,961
Even if we have to snap off Jeju City
or Halla Mountain, we must protest.

633
00:47:58,754 --> 00:48:01,715
[presenter] All the leaders in the fishing
cooperatives are men,

634
00:48:01,715 --> 00:48:05,093
and they say they are against the issue

635
00:48:05,093 --> 00:48:10,349
- but there's been no action taken.
- That's right.

636
00:48:11,099 --> 00:48:15,020
[presenter] I believe that
the spirit that haenyeos possess

637
00:48:15,020 --> 00:48:16,855
is our eternal strength.

638
00:48:17,105 --> 00:48:21,360
So we need to remind ourselves of Jeju
haenyeos' daring spirit from the past

639
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:24,613
and show them we will fight to the end.

640
00:48:27,658 --> 00:48:31,787
On the day of the demonstration,
we'll assemble all the haenyeos.

641
00:48:34,331 --> 00:48:35,582
[haenyeo 17] That's right, that's right!

642
00:48:36,500 --> 00:48:40,045
Moving forward, we'll cooperate,

643
00:48:40,045 --> 00:48:44,925
and together with Japan,
we need to take action.

644
00:48:45,133 --> 00:48:49,388
And I will work even harder
back in Seoul.

645
00:48:49,555 --> 00:48:53,225
Stay in the fight with us and
let's continue to oppose this together.

646
00:48:54,017 --> 00:48:56,728
[audience applauds]

647
00:48:57,896 --> 00:49:00,482
[chattering indistinctly]

648
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:05,612
We need to rise up.

649
00:49:05,821 --> 00:49:07,281
- [haenyeo 11] It has to be done.
- [In Sook] That's right.

650
00:49:07,281 --> 00:49:08,198
[in English] Thank you.

651
00:49:08,282 --> 00:49:10,033
Thank you. [chuckles]

652
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:11,952
[Soon Deok, in Korean]
It's not a simple matter.

653
00:49:11,952 --> 00:49:13,871
It's a big task.

654
00:49:13,871 --> 00:49:15,414
It's easier said than done.

655
00:49:17,624 --> 00:49:18,876
Thank you.

656
00:49:21,378 --> 00:49:23,213
[children chattering]

657
00:49:32,973 --> 00:49:34,641
[Lae Won] A blue crab!

658
00:49:34,850 --> 00:49:36,727
[Do Hun] How did you catch that?

659
00:49:36,727 --> 00:49:37,936
[Lae Won] Whoa!

660
00:49:37,936 --> 00:49:40,022
Oh, I got it.

661
00:49:42,399 --> 00:49:43,942
It's cute.

662
00:49:45,569 --> 00:49:46,945
Let me see.
Do Hun, should we put it in a container?

663
00:49:46,945 --> 00:49:48,947
- [Do Hun] It's really big.
- [Naru] Wow!

664
00:49:49,406 --> 00:49:51,200
[Jeongmin] Remember what I told you, Naru?

665
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:54,745
Out of all the sea creatures,

666
00:49:54,828 --> 00:49:59,499
crabs are
the most sensitive to pain.

667
00:50:00,250 --> 00:50:02,753
[Naru] I'll never be able to find another
as cute as this one.

668
00:50:03,795 --> 00:50:06,298
I'll just go set it free.

669
00:50:06,924 --> 00:50:08,592
Do Hun found this.

670
00:50:10,677 --> 00:50:11,762
[Jeongmin] Have fun!

671
00:50:11,762 --> 00:50:13,514
Mommy will be here eating.

672
00:50:14,473 --> 00:50:16,016
[Jeongmin's husband] Wow.

673
00:50:17,643 --> 00:50:19,645
[Naru] Dad, wait for me!

674
00:50:19,645 --> 00:50:21,813
- [Jeongmin's husband] Come on.
- [Jeongmin chuckles]

675
00:50:22,564 --> 00:50:26,527
[Jeongmin] When I imagine the future
for my kids, I feel sad.

676
00:50:27,611 --> 00:50:31,198
As a mom, I want to protect
my kids from harm.

677
00:50:32,741 --> 00:50:34,409
[children chattering, giggling]

678
00:50:36,328 --> 00:50:38,664
[Naru screaming]

679
00:50:38,747 --> 00:50:40,374
[Do Hun] Ah! There's a jellyfish!

680
00:50:40,749 --> 00:50:42,000
I'm scared!

681
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:47,172
[Naru] There are so many jellyfish
floating around here.

682
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:09,194
[haenyeos chattering indistinctly]

683
00:51:14,116 --> 00:51:17,327
- I'm glad you came here to participate.
- It's good that you came.

684
00:51:17,452 --> 00:51:18,829
Thank you. Thank you.

685
00:51:19,872 --> 00:51:21,957
You're not a haenyeo, though?

686
00:51:21,957 --> 00:51:24,459
- I am a haenyeo! For 7 years.
- 7 years?

687
00:51:24,459 --> 00:51:25,586
Oh wow!

688
00:51:25,586 --> 00:51:27,296
- You've been on TV!
- Yes, that's right!

689
00:51:27,296 --> 00:51:28,922
Is there much to catch?

690
00:51:28,922 --> 00:51:30,757
There's less every day.

691
00:51:30,757 --> 00:51:32,551
[haenyeos chattering]

692
00:51:33,302 --> 00:51:35,721
- [haenyeo 5] You're from where?
- [In Sook] Geoje, Geoje, Geoje.

693
00:51:36,013 --> 00:51:41,685
I love it so much, I want to keep doing it
for a long time like you aunties.

694
00:51:46,690 --> 00:51:47,941
WE OPPOSE THE RELEASE

695
00:51:48,025 --> 00:51:50,360
OF FUKUSHIMA'S
NUCLEAR CONTAMINATED WATER

696
00:51:50,444 --> 00:51:52,613
WHICH DESTROYS
THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT

697
00:51:52,696 --> 00:51:54,573
AND CITIZENS' RIGHT TO SURVIVE!

698
00:51:54,990 --> 00:51:59,745
Hello, I'm Choi Kyung Sook,
a civil radioactive activist.

699
00:51:59,745 --> 00:52:04,541
The Japanese government
claims they will remove radiation

700
00:52:04,625 --> 00:52:07,503
through a polynuclear removal process
called ALPS.

701
00:52:07,503 --> 00:52:12,591
But ALPS cannot filter out radioactive
substances like carbon-14 or tritium,

702
00:52:12,674 --> 00:52:17,137
which has a very long half-life.

703
00:52:18,430 --> 00:52:20,224
If the Fukushima contaminated water
is released,

704
00:52:20,307 --> 00:52:24,228
it will reach Jeju Island
within about seven months.

705
00:52:24,228 --> 00:52:30,192
So who can guarantee the safety
of haenyeos who work in the sea?

706
00:52:30,192 --> 00:52:33,111
[Jeong Do Kim] The Japanese government
should immediately withdraw its decision

707
00:52:33,195 --> 00:52:35,906
to discharge nuclear-polluted water
from Fukushima!

708
00:52:35,906 --> 00:52:38,909
[chanting]
Withdraw it! Withdraw it! Withdraw it!

709
00:52:42,955 --> 00:52:48,544
Auntie, are there a lot of elderly
haenyeos in their 80s in Jeju?

710
00:52:48,544 --> 00:52:52,005
[haenyeo 17] There are a lot of haenyeos
in Jeju that are over 80.

711
00:52:52,005 --> 00:52:54,633
- Oh really?
- [haenyeo 17] She's 79!

712
00:52:55,759 --> 00:52:56,760
[sighs]

713
00:52:56,844 --> 00:52:57,928
How old are you now?

714
00:52:57,928 --> 00:52:59,721
- I'm 30.
- 30… Are you married?

715
00:52:59,721 --> 00:53:02,224
- Not yet. [chuckles]
- Not yet? Oh.

716
00:53:03,559 --> 00:53:05,143
Jeongmin has three kids.

717
00:53:05,143 --> 00:53:07,563
- Get married in Jeju.
- In Jeju?

718
00:53:07,563 --> 00:53:09,022
Can I still be a haenyeo
if I get married in Jeju?

719
00:53:09,106 --> 00:53:10,065
Yeah.

720
00:53:10,065 --> 00:53:12,568
- Hey, she has a son. She has a son.
- [Sohee laughing]

721
00:53:12,568 --> 00:53:14,361
She has a son.

722
00:53:14,486 --> 00:53:18,615
- Hey, her son is the best fit for you.
- You'll be my mother-in-law! [laughs]

723
00:53:18,615 --> 00:53:19,783
It's the perfect fit.

724
00:53:30,085 --> 00:53:33,297
[crows]

725
00:53:37,759 --> 00:53:39,928
Sis, should we pay our respects
and bow down?

726
00:53:39,928 --> 00:53:41,680
[haenyeo 5]
It probably hasn't started yet.

727
00:53:44,933 --> 00:53:46,935
Let's do it once we go up there.

728
00:53:46,935 --> 00:53:48,729
Okay. Leave the money.

729
00:53:48,729 --> 00:53:49,813
After we go up.

730
00:54:03,243 --> 00:54:06,496
[haenyeo 18] Sis, is that
the right posture for making rice cake?

731
00:54:06,496 --> 00:54:09,082
[haenyeo 19] Since I'm old
and my legs hurt, I do it this way.

732
00:54:10,334 --> 00:54:12,961
[haenyeo 18] Even though you've aged,
there's not a single wrinkle on your face!

733
00:54:14,463 --> 00:54:16,632
[haenyeo 19] I'm already a grandmother.

734
00:54:17,716 --> 00:54:21,261
Hey, your face is pretty round.
So why are your rice cakes so long?

735
00:54:21,261 --> 00:54:24,348
Well you're making
them uglier and uglier.

736
00:54:24,973 --> 00:54:27,017
[laughs]

737
00:54:29,102 --> 00:54:32,272
[haenyeo 20]
Sis, do we attach it like this?

738
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:38,570
[shaman] Every year, haenyeos perform a
shamanistic ritual called a "goot"

739
00:54:38,570 --> 00:54:40,822
and pray to the gods,
spirits, and ancestors.

740
00:54:43,492 --> 00:54:47,663
In Jeju Island folklore,
there are 18,000 gods,

741
00:54:47,663 --> 00:54:52,876
who live in the sky, the ground,
the mountains, the ocean, even in homes.

742
00:54:55,254 --> 00:54:59,800
Haenyeos risk their lives every day
when diving in the ocean.

743
00:55:00,133 --> 00:55:05,389
I am like an advocate between
the gods and the haenyeo.

744
00:55:05,764 --> 00:55:10,686
I must do my best to plead to the Sea God
on behalf of the haenyeo,

745
00:55:10,686 --> 00:55:14,898
telling him all about the
difficulties the haenyeo face,

746
00:55:14,898 --> 00:55:20,737
explaining what they need,
and asking him what they should do.

747
00:55:20,737 --> 00:55:22,114
[folk music plays]

748
00:55:25,450 --> 00:55:28,161
I pray for the health of the ocean.

749
00:55:28,704 --> 00:55:33,083
[Soon Shil] This year, haenyeos are trying
to put a stop

750
00:55:33,083 --> 00:55:37,212
to Japan's plan to discharge contaminated
water into the ocean.

751
00:55:37,212 --> 00:55:39,256
[prayer playing over PA system]

752
00:55:40,007 --> 00:55:43,093
By performing the goot, they are
summoning the 18,000 gods

753
00:55:43,093 --> 00:55:45,387
to come together on behalf
of the ocean.

754
00:55:46,263 --> 00:55:48,891
We offer gifts and money to the gods.

755
00:55:48,891 --> 00:55:52,436
Then, we invite the spirits
to arrive joyfully.

756
00:55:52,811 --> 00:55:54,897
These rituals contain both
joy and sorrow.

757
00:55:55,689 --> 00:55:57,733
It's the setting of life itself.

758
00:55:58,483 --> 00:56:00,611
[music intensifies]

759
00:56:12,414 --> 00:56:15,584
No harm must come to these
waters, Dragon King!

760
00:56:15,584 --> 00:56:17,544
What shall we do?

761
00:56:17,628 --> 00:56:21,715
[shaman 2] Lead the members forward.

762
00:56:21,715 --> 00:56:24,927
Our god knows everything.

763
00:56:25,469 --> 00:56:26,803
[music intensifies]

764
00:56:30,057 --> 00:56:31,266
[no audible dialogue]

765
00:56:37,189 --> 00:56:38,732
[music continues]

766
00:56:50,285 --> 00:56:52,079
[music continues]

767
00:57:04,132 --> 00:57:05,592
[music continues]

768
00:57:14,393 --> 00:57:15,894
[music continues]

769
00:57:35,038 --> 00:57:36,623
[music stops]

770
00:57:46,592 --> 00:57:48,468
[water boiling]

771
00:57:52,806 --> 00:57:54,016
[kettle clicks]

772
00:58:01,231 --> 00:58:03,692
[Joo Hwa] Since I became a haenyeo

773
00:58:04,526 --> 00:58:06,695
I never missed work.

774
00:58:10,115 --> 00:58:12,117
Because I am a haenyeo

775
00:58:12,117 --> 00:58:14,036
I went to the ocean every day.

776
00:58:14,828 --> 00:58:16,455
Even if I was sick

777
00:58:16,455 --> 00:58:18,332
I would forget the pain.

778
00:58:25,839 --> 00:58:28,675
You know those granny haenyeos?

779
00:58:28,967 --> 00:58:33,096
They don't ever think of retiring.

780
00:58:35,557 --> 00:58:39,645
They will go kicking and screaming
if they can't work in the water.

781
00:58:41,772 --> 00:58:47,152
I realized it's because [chuckling]
they love the ocean so much.

782
00:58:49,821 --> 00:58:53,867
I must keep working in the sea as well.

783
00:58:53,867 --> 00:58:59,498
So I'm not gonna let them dump Fukushima
wastewater into the ocean.

784
00:58:59,831 --> 00:59:05,087
Today we're going to protest the
Fukushima wastewater release.

785
00:59:05,754 --> 00:59:08,340
Other haenyeos are going as well.

786
00:59:12,761 --> 00:59:16,765
But my foot is still sore,
so I'm not sure I'll march well.

787
00:59:24,356 --> 00:59:25,524
[engine starts]

788
00:59:45,711 --> 00:59:47,921
[haenyeos chattering indistinctly]

789
00:59:56,847 --> 01:00:00,392
[haenyeo 21, singsongy]
We are the warriors of the sea!

790
01:00:04,730 --> 01:00:07,733
[Jeong Do Kim]
Japan must withdraw their decision

791
01:00:07,816 --> 01:00:10,485
to release contaminated water
into the sea!

792
01:00:10,819 --> 01:00:13,947
[all chanting]
Withdraw! Withdraw! Withdraw!

793
01:00:15,407 --> 01:00:19,328
[Jeong Do Kim] Let's stop Japan's release
of the contaminated water!

794
01:00:19,328 --> 01:00:22,706
[all chanting] Let's stop it!
Let's stop it! Let's stop it!

795
01:00:23,373 --> 01:00:25,751
[haenyeo 4] I'm 90 years old

796
01:00:26,001 --> 01:00:29,087
but we came here today

797
01:00:29,087 --> 01:00:33,675
because this is something we must do
despite missing work.

798
01:00:34,134 --> 01:00:38,388
We've worked and lived in the water
since we were 18 years old!

799
01:00:38,388 --> 01:00:39,848
We must stop this.

800
01:00:40,349 --> 01:00:41,517
We must stop this!

801
01:00:50,317 --> 01:00:52,361
[haenyeo 22]
They came all the way from Geoje Island.

802
01:00:57,533 --> 01:00:59,368
This won't be the last gathering.

803
01:00:59,826 --> 01:01:01,995
We need to speak up and join forces!

804
01:01:03,622 --> 01:01:07,835
Jeju Island is known
for its pristine nature.

805
01:01:13,298 --> 01:01:17,553
But soon, it will be surrounded

806
01:01:17,636 --> 01:01:21,139
by the radioactive water.

807
01:01:23,517 --> 01:01:26,019
How can we stand by and do nothing?

808
01:01:34,236 --> 01:01:35,696
[crowd cheering]

809
01:01:35,904 --> 01:01:37,155
[Soon Deok] Everyone!

810
01:01:37,239 --> 01:01:39,783
The reason I came up onstage

811
01:01:39,783 --> 01:01:42,578
is because I am a haenyeo
who works in the ocean.

812
01:01:42,661 --> 01:01:44,872
I even worked this morning.

813
01:01:44,872 --> 01:01:50,586
It's hard to avoid swallowing
the seawater while working.

814
01:01:50,586 --> 01:01:53,422
But if Japan pours contaminated
water into the sea,

815
01:01:53,422 --> 01:01:57,050
- are we the only ones who are doomed?
- [crowd cheering]

816
01:01:57,134 --> 01:01:59,720
We have children, and we have descendants.

817
01:01:59,845 --> 01:02:03,724
We need to pass on a clean sea
to our descendants!

818
01:02:03,765 --> 01:02:04,808
[all chanting]
Let us pass on clean waters!

819
01:02:04,808 --> 01:02:06,310
We must pass on clean waters!

820
01:02:07,728 --> 01:02:10,230
We can't trust our government

821
01:02:10,230 --> 01:02:13,275
but if those people experience
what we are going through,

822
01:02:13,275 --> 01:02:15,611
why would they poison our sea?

823
01:02:15,611 --> 01:02:17,446
Right, everyone?

824
01:02:17,529 --> 01:02:18,989
[crowd cheering]

825
01:02:28,457 --> 01:02:31,293
[Joo Hwa]
We don't know when this will happen

826
01:02:31,293 --> 01:02:34,004
but they'll only stop if we speak up.

827
01:02:41,678 --> 01:02:44,473
[Jeong Do Kim] Our haenyeos are in danger!

828
01:02:48,477 --> 01:02:50,604
DON'T MAKE US THE LAST
OF THE HAENYEOS

829
01:02:51,980 --> 01:02:57,110
Japan must withdraw their plan!

830
01:02:57,444 --> 01:02:58,403
[chanting] We condemn it!

831
01:02:58,487 --> 01:03:00,322
We condemn it! We condemn it!

832
01:03:01,907 --> 01:03:06,495
[Sohee] The ocean has to be healthy
for all of us and the earth to be healthy.

833
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:08,914
If I meet someone

834
01:03:08,997 --> 01:03:12,709
who thinks it's okay to discharge
contaminated water into the ocean,

835
01:03:12,709 --> 01:03:14,044
I want to ask,

836
01:03:14,044 --> 01:03:16,463
"Do you not have a future?"

837
01:03:18,966 --> 01:03:22,469
[Jeongmin] It's not like
the earth will end in our generation.

838
01:03:22,469 --> 01:03:25,222
There will continuously be
generations after us.

839
01:03:25,931 --> 01:03:28,517
[Geum Ok] So this is murder.

840
01:03:28,517 --> 01:03:29,852
An act of evil.

841
01:03:30,519 --> 01:03:33,480
So we must stop this at all costs!

842
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:37,484
We will live and work in the ocean until
our necks are severed.

843
01:03:54,418 --> 01:03:56,879
[Soon Deok] We will fight until the end.

844
01:04:05,512 --> 01:04:07,431
[reporter, in English]
It is a big day here in Japan.

845
01:04:07,514 --> 01:04:10,100
There has been
a controversial buildup for this decision,

846
01:04:10,184 --> 01:04:12,019
and today is the day it happens.

847
01:04:12,102 --> 01:04:13,729
As we speak,

848
01:04:13,812 --> 01:04:18,442
treated radioactive wastewater
is being released into the ocean.

849
01:04:18,525 --> 01:04:22,529
The wastewater is being pumped
into a tunnel under the sea,

850
01:04:22,613 --> 01:04:23,739
it's about a kilometer long.

851
01:04:23,822 --> 01:04:26,450
And then being released into the ocean.

852
01:04:26,533 --> 01:04:30,704
It is a very long process
that's going to span many decades.

853
01:04:30,787 --> 01:04:34,041
They're predicting 30 years, maybe longer.

854
01:04:43,759 --> 01:04:46,678
[Joo Hwa, in Korean] I was devastated.

855
01:04:48,138 --> 01:04:50,390
No one's going to eat seafood anymore.

856
01:04:52,476 --> 01:04:54,520
Things are looking really, really bad.

857
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:56,897
We won't be able to live
as haenyeos anymore.

858
01:05:02,819 --> 01:05:06,240
[Soon Deok] I heard about
the Fukushima wastewater release

859
01:05:06,323 --> 01:05:09,785
and thought
"Ah, we are in big trouble."

860
01:05:09,785 --> 01:05:12,538
We might lose our homes and livelihoods.

861
01:05:12,538 --> 01:05:13,872
[stammers]

862
01:05:13,956 --> 01:05:19,211
Even though we love the sea
and try very hard to protect it,

863
01:05:19,211 --> 01:05:24,508
we've lived long enough.
But what about our children?

864
01:05:24,508 --> 01:05:28,053
They will all be deeply affected.

865
01:05:28,053 --> 01:05:31,515
I urge the world to stop this
from happening. We must stop it.

866
01:05:52,452 --> 01:05:54,997
[in English] This is the famous Room 20,

867
01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:59,001
where the Human Rights Council meets
for its sessions.

868
01:05:59,001 --> 01:06:02,087
They meet three times every year.

869
01:06:02,421 --> 01:06:08,468
We have been working on the issue
of Fukushima for many years now,

870
01:06:08,468 --> 01:06:14,057
and when Japan took the decision
to discharge the radioactive water,

871
01:06:14,057 --> 01:06:16,268
we thought it was important
to have somebody

872
01:06:16,351 --> 01:06:19,313
from the haenyeo fisherwoman community

873
01:06:19,313 --> 01:06:23,525
come here and share their experience
directly with the Human Rights Council

874
01:06:23,525 --> 01:06:27,696
in order to underline also
the transboundary harm

875
01:06:27,779 --> 01:06:30,657
that the discharge can provoke.

876
01:06:36,538 --> 01:06:40,876
[Soon Deok, in Korean]
I was contacted by the UN in Switzerland.

877
01:06:41,627 --> 01:06:44,379
I came here to give a speech
against water contamination

878
01:06:44,463 --> 01:06:46,131
on behalf of the Jeju haenyeos.

879
01:06:46,215 --> 01:06:49,635
I flew 13 hours on a plane to come here.
[laughs]

880
01:06:50,093 --> 01:06:55,015
As far as speaking to a crowd in support
of an important cause,

881
01:06:55,057 --> 01:06:57,059
I'm not afraid.

882
01:06:57,935 --> 01:07:03,190
One person's sacrifice can have
a big influence.

883
01:07:03,232 --> 01:07:05,067
So I summoned the courage to come here.

884
01:07:06,318 --> 01:07:10,614
in English]
"Be… Befo… Before… it's too late."

885
01:07:10,697 --> 01:07:13,909
[in Korean] Shall we try
the last sentence again? This is 'please.'

886
01:07:13,951 --> 01:07:15,869
- Then pause-
- [in English] 'Please.' 'Please.'

887
01:07:15,869 --> 01:07:16,703
[in Korean] That's right.

888
01:07:16,787 --> 01:07:21,250
'Please' is like saying 'help!'
It's like saying 'please help!'

889
01:07:21,542 --> 01:07:24,211
Say this a little strongly, then 'may'…

890
01:07:24,378 --> 01:07:26,755
'Before it's.' You did this part
really well. All at once.

891
01:07:26,755 --> 01:07:28,298
'Before it's too' -

892
01:07:28,382 --> 01:07:29,216
- 'late.'
- 'late.'

893
01:07:29,299 --> 01:07:30,384
Then you stop there.

894
01:07:30,384 --> 01:07:33,512
It would be good if you could
memorize this part.

895
01:07:33,512 --> 01:07:36,056
So when you say 'water',
say it all at once.

896
01:07:36,139 --> 01:07:37,724
Don't say 'we' or 'way.'

897
01:07:38,058 --> 01:07:39,726
I'm thirsty. Can I get some water?
[laughs]

898
01:07:39,726 --> 01:07:41,061
Shall I get you some water? [laughs]

899
01:07:41,478 --> 01:07:42,437
I'll give you some water.

900
01:07:44,064 --> 01:07:48,277
[Soon Deok] It's really difficult trying
to pronounce English

901
01:07:48,277 --> 01:07:50,362
using Korean letters.

902
01:07:51,029 --> 01:07:55,158
If I was younger, my tongue
would be more nimble.

903
01:07:55,534 --> 01:07:58,287
I think everything becomes more difficult
when you get old.

904
01:07:58,829 --> 01:08:01,707
I wouldn't want to do this again.
Seriously. [laughs]

905
01:08:04,084 --> 01:08:05,711
[in English] Hello!

906
01:08:05,711 --> 01:08:07,504
Good morning, how are you?

907
01:08:08,005 --> 01:08:10,632
- [in Korean] Hello, good morning.
- Hello.

908
01:08:10,716 --> 01:08:13,302
- [in English] Good morning.
- Good morning. [laughs]

909
01:08:13,385 --> 01:08:16,013
How was your flight?
Welcome to Geneva.

910
01:08:16,180 --> 01:08:18,849
[in Korean] It was a long flight,
it was really hard.

911
01:08:18,849 --> 01:08:20,517
[Hyewon Nam]
It was a very long flight, very arduous.

912
01:08:20,809 --> 01:08:25,147
[in English]
I read your statement, which is perfect.

913
01:08:25,772 --> 01:08:30,611
Do you have any questions or something
you would like to know about

914
01:08:30,611 --> 01:08:32,738
the Human Rights Council?

915
01:08:32,988 --> 01:08:35,365
[in Korean]
I was actually thinking about this.

916
01:08:35,365 --> 01:08:39,578
Just in that brief moment,
not even a minute,

917
01:08:39,578 --> 01:08:45,667
as a humble Jeju woman
and a female diver,

918
01:08:45,667 --> 01:08:48,420
it would mean the world to me

919
01:08:48,420 --> 01:08:50,421
if people from all over the world

920
01:08:50,421 --> 01:08:52,716
could hear me out on what I have to say.

921
01:08:52,716 --> 01:08:55,260
That's all I could wish for.

922
01:09:15,613 --> 01:09:17,533
[in English] I am a haenyeo.

923
01:09:18,033 --> 01:09:20,077
- [knocks on door]
- [Hyewon Nam, in Korean] Are you there?

924
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:21,370
Yes.

925
01:09:28,085 --> 01:09:29,670
- Did you sleep well? [laughs]
- [laughs]

926
01:09:30,002 --> 01:09:33,215
- It's time to go, so let's get ready.
- Hmm.

927
01:09:33,298 --> 01:09:34,633
Okay, okay.

928
01:09:35,676 --> 01:09:37,426
- Don't forget your papers.
- Okay.

929
01:09:38,095 --> 01:09:39,555
Take one last look before you leave.

930
01:09:40,264 --> 01:09:42,683
My face will still be my face whether
or not I look in the mirror. [laughs]

931
01:09:45,185 --> 01:09:47,104
- Let's go.
- Okay.

932
01:09:48,188 --> 01:09:49,564
[Soon Deok] Let us go.

933
01:09:50,607 --> 01:09:52,192
[Hyewon Nam] There, this one.

934
01:09:53,234 --> 01:09:55,195
I'll sit in the seat next to you.

935
01:09:56,154 --> 01:09:57,406
[in English] Morning.

936
01:09:58,824 --> 01:10:03,328
[in Korean] Today's the day when
we visit the UN.

937
01:10:05,414 --> 01:10:06,540
Are you nervous?

938
01:10:07,040 --> 01:10:11,170
No, not at all. There's nothing
to be nervous about.

939
01:10:11,170 --> 01:10:14,089
They're just humans like us.

940
01:10:17,134 --> 01:10:19,636
- [Hyewon Nam] UN!
- We are here.

941
01:10:20,762 --> 01:10:25,017
The time I have to speak is very short.

942
01:10:25,017 --> 01:10:31,315
If those representatives
from around the world

943
01:10:31,315 --> 01:10:34,193
considered even 1/10th of my speech,

944
01:10:34,193 --> 01:10:36,195
that's all that I could wish for.

945
01:10:36,403 --> 01:10:38,071
[Hyewon Nam, in English] Morning!

946
01:10:38,530 --> 01:10:41,033
- [in Korean] Here. You will go with her.
- [in English] Morning.

947
01:10:41,116 --> 01:10:43,035
- [in English] Good morning.
- [speaks in Korean]

948
01:10:43,118 --> 01:10:44,703
[Savia, in English] Nice to see you.

949
01:10:44,786 --> 01:10:47,456
- [Hyewon Nam] Good luck, everyone!
- Please, let's go inside.

950
01:10:47,539 --> 01:10:48,957
Uh, we should pass here.

951
01:10:49,041 --> 01:10:51,001
And show your credential.

952
01:10:52,211 --> 01:10:55,214
Here at the UN,
the environment is very formal,

953
01:10:55,297 --> 01:10:58,592
technical, and very diplomatic, of course.

954
01:10:58,592 --> 01:11:01,303
But also, there's a lot of politization.

955
01:11:01,303 --> 01:11:06,850
So an indigenous woman, coming here,
it's not politicized at all.

956
01:11:06,850 --> 01:11:09,102
It's just a human being
suffering the consequences

957
01:11:09,186 --> 01:11:11,605
of this ill-conceived policy

958
01:11:11,605 --> 01:11:16,818
and telling us the truth. Because we can
speak about what is on paper

959
01:11:16,818 --> 01:11:19,738
but then they are on the ground,
they are the one that knows

960
01:11:19,738 --> 01:11:23,909
the impact of the policy
applied by governments.

961
01:11:23,951 --> 01:11:25,577
She has to keep this with her.

962
01:11:34,503 --> 01:11:39,466
[Savia] It's not easy at all for
communities and when people

963
01:11:39,466 --> 01:11:43,178
participate here when they don't
have experience of this work.

964
01:11:45,222 --> 01:11:50,060
And when they accept, we are very happy.
We try to do our best to assist them.

965
01:11:50,060 --> 01:11:52,604
But then at the end, they are alone.

966
01:11:59,152 --> 01:12:02,781
[person speaking English]

967
01:12:23,135 --> 01:12:25,554
I am a haenyeo,

968
01:12:25,554 --> 01:12:28,265
a sea woman from Jeju.

969
01:12:28,265 --> 01:12:30,642
As a female diver,

970
01:12:30,642 --> 01:12:33,604
I earn money from the sea

971
01:12:33,604 --> 01:12:36,440
to feed my family.

972
01:12:36,440 --> 01:12:38,066
Born into nothing,

973
01:12:38,066 --> 01:12:43,030
I made my life through diving.

974
01:12:45,741 --> 01:12:49,578
I lived all my life

975
01:12:49,661 --> 01:12:53,916
in the clean Jeju seawater,

976
01:12:53,916 --> 01:13:00,255
but Japan is dumping toxic water
in the ocean.

977
01:13:01,298 --> 01:13:05,385
Please stop dumping the water

978
01:13:05,385 --> 01:13:07,471
before it's too late.

979
01:13:10,015 --> 01:13:11,058
[in Korean] Thank you.

980
01:13:26,323 --> 01:13:27,908
[in Korean]
I don't remember anything at the end.

981
01:13:27,991 --> 01:13:29,284
I didn't have any strength left.

982
01:13:29,284 --> 01:13:31,245
I think I was too full.

983
01:13:31,245 --> 01:13:33,622
I didn't have any strength,
my legs were shaking so hard.

984
01:13:34,957 --> 01:13:36,708
- Ah.
- [Hyewon Nam] You did great!

985
01:13:36,708 --> 01:13:38,502
Whether I did good or bad,

986
01:13:38,502 --> 01:13:41,380
I don't plan on ever doing this again.
I'm tired, I'm so tired.

987
01:13:41,380 --> 01:13:43,257
It's the last time. The first but last.

988
01:13:43,257 --> 01:13:46,260
- [exclaims]
- You did great. Don't you feel relieved?

989
01:13:46,260 --> 01:13:48,136
I do feel refreshed.

990
01:13:48,136 --> 01:13:51,765
I need to buy a souvenir
T-shirt before I leave.

991
01:14:01,149 --> 01:14:02,150
[sighs]

992
01:14:13,787 --> 01:14:16,415
Thank you for this meal.

993
01:14:31,513 --> 01:14:32,931
Where is she? Where is she?

994
01:14:33,765 --> 01:14:35,642
[haenyeos chattering]

995
01:14:35,642 --> 01:14:38,729
Where is the one who
protected our country?

996
01:14:52,951 --> 01:14:54,870
How was your trip to Switzerland?

997
01:14:55,996 --> 01:14:59,041
I have some beautiful photos
to show you guys.

998
01:15:06,173 --> 01:15:08,300
[grunts] I'm going to change clothes.

999
01:15:10,052 --> 01:15:15,933
I'm so proud of Soon Deok for
going to Switzerland.

1000
01:15:16,308 --> 01:15:18,977
I'm really proud of her
going there by herself.

1001
01:15:19,353 --> 01:15:21,104
I'm so proud of her.

1002
01:15:21,647 --> 01:15:22,648
She did a good job.

1003
01:15:24,525 --> 01:15:26,276
[Im Saeng] How was the food?

1004
01:15:26,276 --> 01:15:29,404
[Soon Deok]
I only ate some bread. [laughs]

1005
01:15:29,488 --> 01:15:31,532
[Im Saeng]
But the bread was from Switzerland.

1006
01:15:31,532 --> 01:15:32,658
[haenyeos chattering]

1007
01:15:33,367 --> 01:15:39,039
Well, did they buy you anything?
Did they give you money to buy food?

1008
01:15:39,039 --> 01:15:40,832
I didn't even know how to spend
my own money there.

1009
01:15:40,916 --> 01:15:43,043
[Im Saeng] Yeah, even if they did,
she wouldn't know how to use it.

1010
01:15:43,126 --> 01:15:44,753
[haenyeos chattering]

1011
01:15:44,962 --> 01:15:48,090
You're a big deal now since
you went to Switzerland!

1012
01:15:48,340 --> 01:15:51,885
When do you think we can go there?

1013
01:15:52,511 --> 01:15:54,680
You should listen to me.

1014
01:15:55,556 --> 01:15:58,100
- [In Sook] You're a national hero now!
- [Im Saeng] Nationwide.

1015
01:15:58,100 --> 01:15:58,976
The main character!

1016
01:15:59,142 --> 01:16:01,353
[In Sook] You're going to be everywhere!

1017
01:16:01,603 --> 01:16:03,355
[haenyeo 5] How good is that?

1018
01:16:25,043 --> 01:16:28,964
[Joo Hwa] The doctor told me I couldn't
dive until next year,

1019
01:16:29,631 --> 01:16:35,262
but I can walk and I'm not in pain,

1020
01:16:35,262 --> 01:16:37,139
so I came today.

1021
01:16:38,807 --> 01:16:39,933
Watch out for the car!

1022
01:16:41,935 --> 01:16:42,936
[Joo Hwa laughs]

1023
01:16:43,020 --> 01:16:45,606
[chattering indistinctly]

1024
01:16:45,689 --> 01:16:48,859
I'm so happy to come
to work with everyone.

1025
01:16:48,859 --> 01:16:51,236
[laughs]

1026
01:16:51,445 --> 01:16:52,279
You know,

1027
01:16:52,279 --> 01:16:54,489
the day I injured myself,

1028
01:16:54,907 --> 01:16:57,284
I had gotten a new wetsuit

1029
01:16:57,910 --> 01:17:01,955
but it's all wrinkled now since it was
neglected for 3 months.

1030
01:17:02,915 --> 01:17:04,499
Let's get dressed!

1031
01:17:10,506 --> 01:17:12,591
[Yeong Ae] Hey, Joo Hwa!
Help lift this up for me.

1032
01:17:13,258 --> 01:17:14,301
- Kang Joo Hwa!
- Yeah?

1033
01:17:14,301 --> 01:17:15,469
Pull this up for me.

1034
01:17:16,345 --> 01:17:19,097
Turn around! You're showing off
your big milk flanks.

1035
01:17:19,181 --> 01:17:21,558
- Fine by me! [laughs]
- [laughs]

1036
01:17:21,642 --> 01:17:24,436
[Joo Hwa sighs, exclaims]

1037
01:17:24,853 --> 01:17:26,271
Grab these, and let's go!

1038
01:17:26,605 --> 01:17:27,481
Let's go.

1039
01:17:36,990 --> 01:17:39,493
[band playing percussions]

1040
01:17:52,047 --> 01:17:54,049
[music continues]

1041
01:17:57,135 --> 01:17:59,638
[haenyeos singing indistinctly]

1042
01:18:02,766 --> 01:18:07,521
[Hee Soon] The Haenyeo Festival is for
after we leave this world.

1043
01:18:07,521 --> 01:18:13,235
Future generations can remember
us by the festival

1044
01:18:13,235 --> 01:18:16,113
and learn the history of the livelihood
of Jeju Island's haenyeo.

1045
01:18:16,864 --> 01:18:19,283
So for that reason
we hold this festival every year

1046
01:18:19,283 --> 01:18:21,910
to not be forgotten.

1047
01:18:27,499 --> 01:18:28,709
[person] Hello!

1048
01:18:28,709 --> 01:18:30,043
I'm a fan!

1049
01:18:30,294 --> 01:18:31,712
Oh, oh my, okay.

1050
01:18:31,712 --> 01:18:33,088
I feel like I'm meeting celebrities.

1051
01:18:33,213 --> 01:18:36,049
I've learned so much watching
your YouTube videos.

1052
01:18:36,466 --> 01:18:37,676
Thank you for your support.

1053
01:18:37,676 --> 01:18:38,635
I'm such a fan.

1054
01:18:38,635 --> 01:18:40,304
Thank you.

1055
01:18:44,516 --> 01:18:46,518
[Yeong Ae] Today is our day!

1056
01:18:46,518 --> 01:18:48,395
Haenyeo day.

1057
01:18:51,398 --> 01:18:55,277
Ah, wow. Aunties!

1058
01:18:55,277 --> 01:18:57,112
You're here!

1059
01:18:58,447 --> 01:19:02,367
- Hello!
- [Joo Hwa] Sit here.

1060
01:19:02,367 --> 01:19:03,744
[Im Saeng] Have you all been well?

1061
01:19:03,744 --> 01:19:05,412
How are you doing?

1062
01:19:05,662 --> 01:19:08,373
[Jeongmin] I've been really well.

1063
01:19:09,041 --> 01:19:12,753
By the way, I heard you
went to the UN.

1064
01:19:12,920 --> 01:19:15,047
- As a national representative, yes.
- [both exclaim]

1065
01:19:15,047 --> 01:19:17,049
Wow, could we have your
autograph please?

1066
01:19:17,049 --> 01:19:19,510
[Sohee] That's really cool.

1067
01:19:19,510 --> 01:19:22,471
I look up to you so much
for speaking out.

1068
01:19:22,554 --> 01:19:27,935
You must not have wanted to do it,
but I admire that courage of yours.

1069
01:19:27,935 --> 01:19:31,104
We have to keep fighting.

1070
01:19:31,104 --> 01:19:34,066
- Right, we have no choice but to do this.
- [laughs]

1071
01:19:34,066 --> 01:19:35,817
To protect what we have.

1072
01:19:35,817 --> 01:19:37,152
We have more days ahead.

1073
01:19:37,819 --> 01:19:40,989
[Jeongmin] I'm really frightened

1074
01:19:40,989 --> 01:19:43,867
about the fact that I will have
to work in that scary sea.

1075
01:19:44,201 --> 01:19:45,994
This is our livelihood.

1076
01:19:46,078 --> 01:19:50,499
If people stop buying seafood,
we can't keep working.

1077
01:19:50,499 --> 01:19:53,961
That's why I'm frustrated.

1078
01:19:54,628 --> 01:19:58,841
[Soon Deok] We have to continue
our precious culture.

1079
01:19:58,841 --> 01:20:02,052
We should use our strength
to help them in this work!

1080
01:20:02,052 --> 01:20:04,888
- We can do it!
- Let's go!

1081
01:20:05,264 --> 01:20:08,809
- That's what I'm talking about!
- [haenyeos repeat sentence]

1082
01:20:08,809 --> 01:20:12,104
We've lived this long and our experiences
have not been in vain.

1083
01:20:12,479 --> 01:20:16,275
[haenyeo 11]
It's amazing that young women like you

1084
01:20:16,358 --> 01:20:20,737
would think of doing this kind of work.

1085
01:20:20,737 --> 01:20:25,367
I want to keep working like you
wonderful aunties

1086
01:20:25,367 --> 01:20:27,160
for a long time.

1087
01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:29,162
[Yeong Ae] You have to work for 60 years!

1088
01:20:29,246 --> 01:20:31,582
[all laugh]

1089
01:20:32,332 --> 01:20:35,586
- [Sohee] You're right.
- [Yeong Ae sighs]

1090
01:20:35,878 --> 01:20:39,047
[Jeongmin] I wish we could live in Jeju,
and see you aunties like this.

1091
01:20:39,214 --> 01:20:43,385
Now Jeju Island could be passed
on to someone else.

1092
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:45,804
If you two agree?

1093
01:20:47,014 --> 01:20:50,142
Let's be sisters from now on.

1094
01:20:50,142 --> 01:20:51,435
You come to our town,
and we'll go to yours!

1095
01:20:51,518 --> 01:20:52,811
[all laugh]

1096
01:20:52,895 --> 01:20:54,438
- That would be perfect!
- This was meant to be.

1097
01:20:54,938 --> 01:20:59,443
Aw, we have to go now. Stay healthy.

1098
01:20:59,443 --> 01:21:00,694
[Sohee] Goodbye.

1099
01:21:00,694 --> 01:21:02,905
[In Sook] See you next time.

1100
01:21:03,906 --> 01:21:05,824
[Im Saeng] So lovely, our babies.

1101
01:21:06,575 --> 01:21:07,618
[Sohee] Mm-mmm.

1102
01:21:07,701 --> 01:21:10,120
I'm about to cry.

1103
01:21:11,455 --> 01:21:14,750
Don't get sick. Take care.

1104
01:21:14,750 --> 01:21:17,336
- [Soon Deok] Hug me too!
- Ah!

1105
01:21:22,090 --> 01:21:25,344
I'm crying because you're crying!

1106
01:21:25,344 --> 01:21:27,012
[haenyeo 11]
I feel like I'm sending my daughter away.

1107
01:21:27,095 --> 01:21:27,930
Don't cry.

1108
01:21:28,138 --> 01:21:29,806
Why are you crying then?

1109
01:21:30,349 --> 01:21:33,602
- We'll come pay a visit to Busan.
- Ah.

1110
01:21:33,685 --> 01:21:35,687
[all chattering, laughing]

1111
01:21:38,607 --> 01:21:41,610
[haenyeos] Goodbye!

1112
01:21:42,444 --> 01:21:45,656
[chuckles] Don't cry. Don't cry.

1113
01:21:48,450 --> 01:21:51,745
Let's meet next year, promise!

1114
01:21:52,371 --> 01:21:53,956
Let's stay in touch for a long, long time.

1115
01:21:54,039 --> 01:21:55,207
- [laughs]
- [laughs]

1116

We can't stop diving,
we have to go to the sea.

I will dive again.
