RANNAMAARI
Whispers Beneath the Waves

This short historical documentary retells the ancient Maldivian legend of Rannamaari, the sea demon said to have haunted the Maldives in the 12th century.

There are many versions and theories about this story, shared through oral tradition, folklore, and historical writings. The version shown here is based on my own research and represents the interpretation I found most compelling. It has been dramatised for this documentary.

All visuals were created using modern AI tools to recreate historical settings, people, and places that no longer exist. Every effort was made to stay true to the cultural and historical context while using creative storytelling to bring the legend to life.

This film combines history, culture, and myth, paying tribute to the generations of Maldivians who have carried this story forward.
