Daughter of the Sea

After moving away from her childhood home on the remote island of Marado, South Korea, Jaeyoun finds herself plunged into a deep state of depression. Fearing that Jaeyoun might do herself harm, her aunt, a lifelong free diver and fisherwoman in a group known as a Haenyeo, invites her to return to her island roots. Hailing from six generations of Haenyeo before her, Jaeyoun travels back to visit her family and the all-female fishing community on Marado. To her surprise, she finds a connection to nature and her ancestors that saves her life. “Daughter of the Sea” is a story of courage, heritage and a journey to find peace and strength in the wildest of places.
