  • Pasijah, 52, and her family are the only resident who still lives in Bedono village, Demak, Indonesia. The village has already been engulfed by sea water and all of its residents have moved two decades ago. They are persisting to live in the middle of the sea because of a special connection to the land and are dedicated to protecting the environment.
