Anyone who’s seen Patagonia photographer Jeff Johnson's film 180 Degrees South: Conquerors of the Useless remembers Ramón Navarro, the Chilean surfer who gives the traveler and his crew a humble introduction to his beloved, overfished waters.
(USA, 2010, 85 minutes)
The Fisherman's Son is a film that finally explores Navarro's life in depth, following the trajectory of a boy who came from a fishing family, one of many that have long earned their livelihood from the bounty of the sea. Only this fisherman's son found his passion riding the breaks just beyond his front door.
