About the film

Jago: A Life Underwater is a documentary filmed in 2015, directed by James Reed. It chronicles the life history of Rohani, also known as a "man of the sea", an elderly Bajau Laut fisherman from the Sulu Archipelago, who has spent over 60 years mastering the art of free-diving to hunt fish underwater. The film showcases his diving skills and the traditional lifestyle of the Bajau people, combining underwater cinematography with a narrative about a vanishing way of life.

It was released on September 21, 2015 on BBC Four, as well as Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV.
