Wiki.
Muro-Ami (transl. Reef Hunters) is a 1999 Filipino adventure drama film directed by Marilou Diaz-Abaya. It stars Cesar Montano as Fredo, a ruthless captain of 150 muro-ami divers, who employ illegal fishing practices, such as pounding and crushing corals to scare fish, driving them towards the nets. It depicts one of the worst forms of child labor in the illegal fishing system.
The film has won 13 out of 14 nominations in the 1999 Metro Manila Film Festival, including Best Picture.
