Diving Women of Jeju-do(2007)
Diving Women of Jeju-do Synopsis
Jeju-do is the largest of Korean islands and lies between Korea and Japan. There, for hundreds of years, women dive without breathing apparatus, to the ocean floor and collect shellfish, octopus, and urchins that they sell. The divers are in their sixties and seventies and their daughters do not want to inherit their work, lifestyle, and health problems that go with diving. As a filmmaker I was privileged to meet many of these women and dive with them. Their stories of hardship and pride confirmed my desire to record this unique and ancient tradition.
Diving Women of Jeju-do (2007) is a history and documentary film directed by Barbara Hammer, released on January 1, 2007 with a runtime of 25m. It stars Barbara Hammer.
