'Jago: A Life Underwater' Nominated For Wildscreen 2016 Panda Music Award 1 July 2016





William Goodchild has been nominated for a Wildscreen 2016 Panda Music Award for his score 'Jago: A Life Underwater'. The documentary is published by BDi Music. Check it out here.

‘Jago: A Life Underwater’ is a documentary film which tells the story of an 80 year old sea nomad called Rohani. The story is told entirely from his perspective, against the spectacular backdrop of the Togian Islands in the Coral Triangle, and recreates events that capture the turning points in his life, as a hunter and as a man. We were able to bring Rohani’s past experiences to life by working closely with his family and friends in the village where he grew up. Story telling is a big part of Bajau culture, and a way of preserving traditions through generations. Although Rohani had never had a camera pointed at him, it certainly wasn't the first time he’d sat around telling stories. We were just lucky that he let us capture it on film.
