I’d like to talk about an interesting video I watched last month. It was a short documentary, about twelve minutes long, on the stilt fishermen of the south coast of Sri Lanka, near Galle. I watched it on my laptop at home in Colombo on a rainy Sunday afternoon. My cousin Shehan had sent me the link because he knew I’m always curious about our local culture. I decided to watch it because I’d seen those men on postcards and photos many times, but I’d never understood how they actually live. In the video, a man called Sunil explains that he sits on a wooden pole in the sea for hours, waiting for small fish, and that his father and grandfather did exactly the same. The camera also followed him as he climbed onto the pole before dawn and balanced there with one hand, which looked almost impossible to me.
