Living in a Tiny Ocean Shack That Could Kill You

Off Vietnam’s southern coast, fishermen live and work in tiny wooden huts perched above powerful ocean currents. They balance on ropes to reset their nets and haul huge catches of tiny shrimp through the day and night. Working twelve days offshore at a time, the men sleep in roughly two-hour blocks between hauls. Storms, lightning strikes and collisions with passing ships threaten the structures they call home. This documentary follows their daily routine, the dangers of the job and the shrimp’s journey from ocean nets to fermented shrimp paste. 🎥 Credits Director / Host: Andrew Fraser Editors: Trung Le Producer: Vân Nguyễn Thanh Thank you to Real Life in Vietnam for allowing us to his some of his clips: https://www.youtube.com/@RealLifeinVietnam
