Voice Above Water is the story of a 90 year-old Balinese fisherman, Wayan, who can no longer fish because of the vast amount of plastic in the ocean. Wayan instead uses his fishing boat and net to collect trash from the ocean in hopes of one day being able to fish again. The story is a glimpse into how one human is using his resources to make a difference, and a reminder that if we all play our part we can accomplish something much greater than ourselves.
