In a remote coastal village in Mozambique, where the ocean is both a lifeline and a force of nature, one young man dares to rewrite the narrative of his community. Peixinho is an inspiring tale of resilience and transformation, following the journey of a local hero as he bridges generations and redefines what it means to live in harmony with the sea.
Peixinho dives deep into the heart of tradition and progress. Witness how one man's mission to teach children to swim and be safer in the water ripples through the community, saving lives and sparking hope. As he unravels the secrets of the ocean through his research, he also challenges outdated fishing practices, guiding the older generation toward sustainable solutions that honor the sea's fragile balance.
