The Indian Ocean is changing, and no group has witnessed this more than the Swahili people. Their culture relies on the ocean for survival, using methods handed down from their ancestors. In Bahari Yetu, fishermen from the Lamu Archipelago share their experiences of over half a century sailing these waters, as well as stories from their fathers and grandfathers who taught them their trade.
