Sometimes film, especially documentary film, serves a higher purpose. It can preserve and archive a culture. It can capture a moment and place and hold it timelessly for future generations to learn and enjoy.
Sailing a Sinking Sea is a fascinating look at the Moken people of the Oceans between Malaysia and Thailand. They are a people who live on the sea, in boats, and come to land only occasionally. I found their folklore, their creation myth and stories of mermaids and magic, to be the most interesting part of this documentary.
It is beautifully filmed and the stories of the people and their lives are engaging. Olivia Wyatt has created something meaningful that is a contribution to the archives of world cultures.
