No Word for Worry

.

As one of the last indigenous sea nomads, Hook must make a courageous voyage deep into uncharted waters outside Myanmar to salvage the remains of his unique oceanic culture.

The film follows Hook from the bottom of the modern social ladder on a voyage into the heart of the Moken’s aquatic territory. On his quest to salvage the remains of his legacy, he faces the universal questions of identity, love, loss and belonging. A unique insight into the words last ocean dwellers.


Press

  • A fantastic film! It is a gentle and generous introduction to the Moken world, which is as precious as it is fragile. Hook is the best representative any culture could have, a man of quiet dignity and resolve. The film is also remarkably visual - just amazing images and colors. More than any other Norwegian film in recent history, this film is important and needs to be seen around the world.
    Peter Eisenstein, Screenwriter
  • No Word for Worry is an aesthetic and thematic shock that anyone with a conscience for nature, culture and the environment must see.
    2014 Eurodok Festival
  • This years "Golden Chair” prize for best Norwegian documentary is awarded to a film which shows its greatness through both visual expression and content. The documentary shows the power to make a difference. This is a universal story about the little man against the big powers. The film is beautifully photographed and has a cinematic style where the scenes are allowed to live and the images to last a long time. The director allows us to be in situations and does not fall for the temptation to overtell. The filmmaker lets us breathe, even under water.
