Daily on DStv Ch180 & OpenView Ch115

People°s Weather is a broadcast media partner of the Nature, Environment and Wildlife Filmmakers Short Film Festival.

"Phefumla" follows Loyiso Dunga, a marine scientist from one of South Africa's most infamous townships, as he embarks on an opportunity of a lifetime. He must overcome his fears of drowning and...breathe, to realize his dream of diving deep into the oceans vastness. Through his first sensory overloaded experiences, Loyiso makes profound observations of how humans can learn from the oceans interconnected ecosystems and way of life. Whilst he breathes the oceans calm and experiences first-hand the threat to our oceans biodiversity and the air we breathe, he feels compelled to amplify his
responsibility as a marine scientist.
