Little Human Planet follows the lives of young children from around the world, giving a glimpse to our CBeebies viewers of how their counterparts live wherever they are. It's a celebration of what makes children different and what makes them the same around the world in a colourful and often surprising voyage of discovery.
In this programme we travel to the Sulu Sea and the Pacific Ocean in Southeast Asia to see how the Bajau Laut sea gypsy families live their lives intimately with the ocean by living entirely on their boats.. The children are born on their boats and grow up with the sea as part of their home and playground. Sea-gypsy children adapt to this semi-aquatic existence in extraordinary ways. We see how many families live together on the boats as they cook and wash clothes. We learn how they put traditional face masks, made from seaweed to protect their skins from the sun. Finally, we see young boys dive confidently into the deep sea water - a way of life for the Bajau Laut children.
