(Lamalera)

Content: Lamalera, situated in Eastern Indonesia, is notoriously known for its traditional whale-hunting. This ancient hunting technique, passed down from generation to generation, is the main livelihood of the village. However, times are slowly changing as the youth are leaving the village for work and studies, while there is pressure from the outside world to stop their whaling. The perspectives of four locals are followed; Kris, a 15 year old girl attending the local high school, her father, Karolous, a seasoned harpooner, Ignacious, a respected ship builder, and Sister Maria, a Catholic nun. They each give their opinions and insight into the mentioned conflicts, and welcome us into their world as we explore their daily lives.
