Anchored Together: From Land to Sea | Seafarer Family Documentary Film (India)

This emotional short documentary follows an Indian seafarer family as they navigate the challenges of distance, parenting, and connection across oceans. Blending real family footage, personal interviews, and recreations, the 12-minute film reveals the strength it takes to hold a family together while one parent works offshore for months at a time.

From life onboard a ship to quiet moments at home, Anchored Together highlights the emotional cost of seafaring — and the ways technology and intentional choices help families stay close. The film was created as part of ISWAN’s initiative “Anchored Together – From Land to Sea” to support seafarer families with resources and shared stories.
