Katsuo Marendeng (about fishermen wife)

In 2026, Fishstory collaborated with FishTales & AP2HI NGO to document a transformative Fair Trade initiative in Bitung, North Sulawesi. This project highlights the economic empowerment of fishers' wives, who have established sustainable snack businesses as part of a value-added fishery program. Utilizing the Blackmagic 6K Pro 12 bit colour to capture intimate, authentic storytelling, we documented how Fair Trade premiums are directly reinvested into community-led entrepreneurship. This documentary serves as a powerful testament to social equity in the seafood industry, bridging the gap between Indonesian coastal communities and global ethical consumers.
