Against all odds, a local fisherman named Runi attempts to organise his local community to protect endangered marine species around Jumba beach. His most fervent supporter is Abdul, a 12 year-old boy who balances his love for nature, his need to earn a living for his family, and his desire to go to school. Runi and Jumba’s friendship and their determination is an inspiration, but can these local activists take on a fight against international trades?
