Alex del Olmo and Lidia Martínez-Seara. 7 minutes. Indonesia.
1st prize for the best music video, DONOSTIA KULTURA Award with golden handrail.
During November 2020 and due to the restrictions produced by COVID-19 as well as the impossibility of receiving tourists in Indonesia, I embarked on an adventure of 1,384 nautical miles (2,586 km) for a whole month on board the ship "The Seven Seas". We departed from Labuan Bajo - Komodo - and our journey ended in Ambon. We sailed through the Flores Sea, the Forgotten Islands, Watubela, Koon and the Banda Sea. We reached out to local villages on remote islands to try to create new Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) that would ensure the protection and sustainability of reefs and marine life.
This short film is a testament to all the marine life we saw underwater that we must protect at all costs.
