Baja Laut are stateless ethnic group living on islands off Indonesia, Malaysia and Philippines. They literally live on water and their way of life inspired James’ Cameron’s Metkayina Navi Clan in Avatar. But what is romantic on surface hides a dark undertones of living outside of structures of modern states. In June 2025 @#dogoodfilmsworldwide spent time on Omadal island with UNICEF and ILO documenting their work with #Bajalaut people. One day I met Nurul and decided to make a short film about her.
