Voyage of the Vezo| 23mins

Focus Years: 2009 | Country: United States
Synopsis:
The Vezo of southwest Madagascar have always maintained a delicate harmony with the coral reef. As Maro Bezozo begins to catch fewer and smaller fish, he wonders whether the Vezo’s relationship with the sea has fallen out of balance. Along with Sambalahy, his 11-year-old nephew, he embarks on a voyage that will cover over 150 kilometers north. Sailing from village to village, Maro and Sambalahy encounter shark fishermen, sea turtle hunters, veteran Vezo and rookies. On their journey, they address the change in climate that is threatening their traditional way of life, as well as the state of the world's fourth largest coral reef system. But will diving for solutions only bring more difficult questions to the surface?
