Do Not Blame The Sea from The Perennial Plate on Vimeo.
In 2004, the Tsunami that hit Sri Lanka killed 8 members of this small fishing family. And yet today, they still fish (either on stilts or in a boat) because they have to do it to survive. The family lives in a small, makeshift hut with a back "window" that opens onto the ocean - the same sea that gives life also takes it away.
How a family continued to love that which also took away their loved ones "We live because of the sea and will continue to live because of it. So we love the sea" and the reality they are facing as it becomes harder and harder for them to catch "as there are not many fish these days".
