the man of the cliffs

documentary about Purunga, a traditional cliff fisherman in Peru.

every morning, Purunga goes to work. Even though his profession could fall into the categories “high risk” and “awe-inspiring”, for some mysterious reason he does not bring a selfie stick with him, and he doesn’t carry any Black Diamond or La Sportiva gear either.

This documentary is a must-see from beginning to end. The silent and anonymous epic of someone working in his environment and his time in history.

Would Purunga prefer Patagonia’s Ascensionist or Descensionist pack?
