The Tofinu people: the fishermen of Benin | SLICE

[@gabriela.3276]

As a beninese I feel so proud that their culture withstood the test of time. Definitely a destination to visit

[@AngieJames4172]

Films such as these are my very favorite. The ones where they live on or near the water and survive from waters and other nature bounty thank you SLICE !

[@ngwenoh.e9725]

Love the storytelling,the cinematography, everything was packed for me, and it's right for the boy to have different dreams from the father, the young man is brilliant, I hope the universe leads him where he needs to be.

[@Sammysam44]

He definitely doesn't look 65! Bless this family

[@RS-xo3rb]

Yeah, just see his arm muscles when he is working. He is quite strong for his age.

[@TemplarX2]

@@RS-xo3rb Pescatarianism is an awesome diet as long as the fish is not contaminated by microplastic. This lake probably has little microplastic.

[@NoLandMandi]

I have never seen so much colorful clothing in one place! what lovely people!

[@richardking9703]

Those were quite the stairs

[@billshakur302]

I can't blame that kid every one have dreams we're all different may God bless him to be successful

[@worldview2888]

[@StacyL.]

They have the full documentary on Prime Video under the Curiosity stream if anyone is wanting to watch it. Looks like the documentary came out in 2020, so two years have passed. I wonder what Hubert decided to do...

[@patrickguillory-yy2gu]

I would not trade that life at all ( That life to me is beautiful and carefree)❤

[@hangangkonyak1026]

I love the way Father teaching his son of his ways of fishing .. adorable

[@hobotoachumi9403]

This gave me joy

[@jakobisrael8295]

Such a simple happy life

[@Outhouse25]

In the US we have some the most talented clothing designers. But people in third world countries still always have the best designs and clothing. When they have it. Maybe hire them??

[@Anonymous-nn4sk]

These people are stylish. Impressed by the colors and designs of their clothing.

[@moniquedelatour3502]

Best castnet fisherman I ever seen. Wow.

[@mutenyotimothy3242]

The music for me and instrumentals does me well. Thank you !

[@cyndybutler7330]

I love the videos of people around the world much love to them all

[@win9080]

nice video 👍👍👍🙏

[@carolinetalam5832]

Great documentary 👏

[@TALHA0632]

Great documentary

[@lenzp4133]

so, they are wearing beautiful pyjamas all day, there is no pollution, they build "homes" for their fish to live in and harvest them sustainable, got a dj at their church(a muslim an christian church nonetheless), and when we all drown because sea levels are rising they just build their houses a bit higher out of the water. they beat modern civilisation at every level

[@AG-ig8uf]

What this video doesn't show you is stench and filt all over that place. I visited it while in Benin, and it was one of the most disgusting places I've been to ever. That lake is covered in floating feces, dead animals and garbage.

[@kwadwoamankwah3379]

Please Slice go to Nzulenzu in Ghana and make a documentary there. The people also live on the water. Is really a fascinating place to go

[@oralogarro9932]

That I would love to see

[@oralogarro9932]

[@lovers.l]

Films such as these are my very favorite.

[@kev9cool]

What’s the name of the song at 5:13?

[@mattheweburns]

Their story sounds just like Venice settlement story. But when you translate where they do they always seem more Japanese. We often have way too many documentaries that are still biased to Western standards, it’s nice to see a different perspective or at least less perspective biased one way or the other, it seems that he provides well for his family look at their clothing and their home are immaculate

[@joedennehy386]

And where does the sewerage go?

[@sonofthesoil.973]

Slice please make it possible to download your vids .

[@freedomfreedom6544]

What the child doesn’t understand is that fishing is the only living that will keep him free and independent. One day when his EV is turned off because he didn’t get a shot he will understand but it will be too late.

[@noeltheliberalmillennial4886]

Your name is freedom but I don’t think you believe in what it means? If the young man wants to make a living elsewhere, he can do that. He is young and free to make mistakes. Don’t wish him doom and cast your disbelief on him.

[@indica77]

Freedom Freedom you're 💯% correct 👍

[@sirsimp9096]

It's his wish to do whatever the fool he wants, you win some you lose some that's life

[@erroneous6947]

I agree completely.

[@drandy.myanmaryoutubechannel]

Nice video 👍

[@ashok305]

i have watched industrial fishing where they are pulling 50000 huge tuna fish in one pull and then i watched this video...just unbelivable balance

[@4amwaj]

[@wildancannelyt2130]

Nice vedio🙏🙏😁

[@DBerRN]

I love the music

[@timmahbajo6344]

I recommend SLICE to try it in a country called Gambia🇬🇲. You'll find it interesting

[@oralogarro9932]

So good to hear he have the freedom to do something else

[@belkiolur9075]

Simple and very peaceful life.

[@vilv777]

[@fatherrussell5303]

[@Unknown32589]

[@joedennehy386]

I wouldn't be eating any fish out of there, not too much plumbing on show, flushes straight into the lake

[@NaughtyJack335]

I wonder where they build their toilets🤔

[@asadullah6047]

i guess democracy hasn't come here because there's no oil but fish

ughhhh the river is their sewer for diseases 🥶🥶🥶

[@hugo-di6xm]

Chemical fast food is yours for cancers.

[@billnikola2463]

If fish are only way to eat and make money and theirs 50000 of them,the fish numbers must be low,a lake like can't sustain that number for ever,they might need to stop fishing so fish stocks go up, but what will they do then.

[@naame-owoyeya-malapi2454]

Are you sure you watched the entire video?the techniques they use are ingenious so it allows fish to grow and breed well

[@hugo-di6xm]

They also receive icy imported fish and meat from the capital

[@fylipl4613]

Where is the toilet?

[@zzzzzsleeping]

Might be exciting to have 3 or 4 wives 🤔

[@boar7153]

What do they do with fifty thousand turds a day?

[@kenz707]

[@arthurride5610]
