East Timor: Navigating Life's Waters | SLICE TRAVEL

On their flimsy canoes that seem to glide across the ocean, or in their villages on stilts, People of the Sea gives us insight into their world between land and sea, their beliefs and knowledge that allow them to live in harmony with this unique natural habitat.
A total immersion into the daily lives of these exceptional seafarers for whom there is no boundary between land and sea, and whose lifestyles represent an invaluable heritage for mankind.
This episode takes us to Asia, where the sea shapes communities' destinies. In Timor, the sea was traditionally reserved for men, women being dedicated to the land. But with the dewatering of the soil, a group of women, the Wawata Topu, turned to the sea and earned the respect of men.
