The Vampire Fish I SLICE I Full documentary
In the north of the Kenyan coast in the Kiwayu island, the Bajun people have practiced an extraordinary technique for centuries: remora fishing.
The remora, a fish whose head contains a small suction cup, attaches itself to turtles, rays and sharks for nourishment. Legend has it that the remora sucks its victims’ blood to tire them out, hence the nickname, “vampire fish”. Alphan and Aruni are Bajun fishermen. During the first days of Ramadan, they get ready to sail out to sea in their traditional boats. The only way they can survive is to fish along the coast, using the vampire fish, will they succeed?
