‘Last of the Sea Women’ follows their battle against oceanic threats while continuing to work in imminent danger.

“Haenyeo are guardians of the sea and we have protected the ocean for hundreds of years,” one of the divers says in the trailer’s narration.

Malala Yousafzai is producing the documentary through her own production banner Extracurricular Productions.

Sue Kim, Erika Kennair, Nicole Stott, Emily Osborne and Harry Go are also producing while Marissa Torres Ericson is executive producing ‘The Last of the Sea Women.’

The show is set to be premiered on September 8 before its global debut on Apple TV+ on October 11.
