The Last Whale Hunters of Indonesia | Lamalera: The Ultimate Battle | Free Documentary
No-Go Zones - Khayelitsha, South Africa: • No-Go Zones | Khayelit...
Lamalera: a remote village of 2 500 people on the southern coast of Indonesia. In this hostile land where nothing grows, people have managed to survive only thanks to a spectacular age-old hunt: the traditional and sacred harpooning of sperm whales. Despite danger and hard lives, the villagers have always been self-sufficient, living according to their traditions, far from globalization. But today, this balance is about to be broken. As people from a neighboring island start fishing with dynamite, the whales are disappearing. With no more whales to hunt, Lamalera is dying.
In order to survive and feed their families, some villagers decide to embrace modernity and start using motors to fish further away from the island. But others want to preserve their traditional way of life at all costs, leading to a serious conflict of generations. Ancient social codes are falling apart. «Everybody for himself» is becoming the new model. Meanwhile, environmental protectionists are getting worried about overfishing and plan to turn the area into a natural reserve. What can we imagine for the last whale hunters? When globalization strikes and people are torn between the preservation of traditions and the need for modernity, discover how an entire village has to confront a new kind of battle, an ultimate battle-for their survival.

Please minimize the use of blurring effect. This is an educational film, and we seem to lose quite a lot of information trying to accommodate a small group who frankly should grow up and accept the uncomfortable reality of blood, violence and death in the natural human heritage that is hunting for food. Great documentary

come on, this is culture. we must respect the culture and must preserve their culture. Just so you know they don't do this every day, they only do it on special days in their culture. They don't just harpoon whales, they choose the biggest whales and let the other whales live and reproduce. They also guard their beaches and seas so that whales can breed and be comfortable there, the proof is that whales migrate and breed there. So, we must respect and see this habit as a culture that can be used as a lesson for the younger generation.

@CartoonWeasel 23 күн бұрын

@uummaaxxxx1012 they fish everyday for food. With nets. So they are doing what every other fishing nation starts doing, fishing with nets. Taking all the fish from the sea. Harpoon fishing is sustainable, net fishing is not. They now fish with nets.

Mereka bukan pemburu paus. Bukan yang memburu paus kemana-mana seperti kapal ikan Jepang dan China. Mereka hanya membunuh beberpa ekor paus yang lewat di depan rumah/kampung mereka, dua kali setahun, dan hanya beberapa ekor, cukup untuk kebutuhan mereka, tidak membuat mereka jadi kaya. Hanya meneruskan tradisi, menerima karunia dari Tuhan dari paus yang sedang beremigrasi dari lautan Hindia ke Pacific dan sebaliknya.
