Earlier this year Andrew finished editing a feature length documentary for sustainable streaming services start up Newyonder
SYNOPSIS: On the volcanic island and South Korean province of Jeju resides an extraordinary community of sea women who live a unique way of life – one entirely dependent, and at one, with the ocean. These freedivers take only what they need from the sea, utilising it, and protecting it. Yet as the modern world accelerates, rapidly overtaking age-old traditions, will the traditional Haenyeo way of life be lost forever, or is there a way to preserve what’s left and learn from it too?
Follow the lives of Kyung-Mi, Geum-Mi and Jeong-Mi Moon, three sisters now in their sixties, Haenyeo "sea women", who take only what they need, one breath at a time.
