Dhīvaraḥ is not just about the fisherfolk that need a revival, but also about our rapidly depleting marine ecosystem.
Synopsis
Faith, work, and religion all merge together in this short documentary that dives deep into the endangered fishing industry in Karnataka, India. The documentary explores the religious and demanding routine fishermen have to go through every time they go out into the sea, but as climate change makes it harder to catch the fish that flees for cooler waters and a slowly decaying industry that complicates the livelihood of the fisherfolk, the fishermen have to go out facing a concerning unpredictability, as fishing is not just a hobby, but a way of life.
