Surfer Yusei Ikariyama, from Japan's Amami Ōshima, grew up amidst its surfable waves and coral reefs. When industrial development threatened his biodiverse homeland, he spearheaded a movement to protect it. Patagonia Films' documentary short *Totoganashi* follows Yusei's evolution from pro surfer to founder of NEDI, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving the ocean-land interface.

Inspired by the local saying, "one fight bleeds for three generations," Yusei realized community unity was vital to keep the shared coastline healthy. This film highlights Patagonia's commitment to using its resources—business, investments, and voice—to address the threat of extinction facing all life on Earth.
