The Casamance Region, in southern Senegal, is one of the last refuge hubs for non-industrial fishing in West Africa, employing around 15,000 people, fishermen, fish processors and migrant workers. "Golden Fish, African Fish" documents the way of life that depends on this artisanal fishing, which guarantees food security in numerous African countries. Meanwhile, increasing foreign competition from China puts this hub at risk: the factories that process the fish turn it into animal or plant feed instead of human food. So far, these women and men have been resisting. But for how much longer?

One area on our planet, above all others, demonstrates man's extraordinary amphibious abilities: the Coral Triangle in the southwestern Pacific. Set apart from the modern world, it is the last place on Earth where people who have lived their lives entirely at sea can still be found. Each isolated community has adapted different but equally ingeniously to the challenges of their surroundings. They are famed for the unique skills that have enabled them to survive and thrive in and on the ocean. From the whale hunters of Lamalera who catch huge prey using just hand-thrown harpoons to the free-diving Bajau spear-fishermen of Sulawesi who stalk the seabed on just a lungful of air - these are the last true people of the sea. Delving deep into this vast seascape, explorer Will Millard travels to meet, live and learn from the last true people of the sea - at a time when great changes are arriving on their shores. Full of wonder and adventure, this series is a personal and intimate exploration of one of the world's last remaining wild places and the people who call it home.

The fens of East Anglia provide the scenery for this documentary. At the centre of the film is John, a solitary character, who makes his living by trapping eels in the numerous canals of the area. We see him at work and narrating his own story. Eel trapping is illegal, so he is always on the run: this is a tale of poaching, a traditional craft, and the influence of the modern state on the individual.
