Acclaimed filmmaker and naturalist David Attenborough uses spectacular images of coral reefs, kelp forests and the endless expanse of the open ocean to show why healthy seas are so important for the stability of our planet. Breathtaking, gripping images illustrate the wonder of life beneath the surface of the sea. They show the reality and challenges facing our oceans more vividly than ever before: from destructive fishing methods for fish to the mass bleaching of coral reefs. And yet there is still room for optimism: Attenborough tells inspiring stories from around the world to convey his most important message: The oceans can recover and re-develop a splendor that surpasses anything we have ever seen.
Born in London in 1926, naturalist, documentary film author and writer David Attenborough has created numerous powerful TV series for the BBC over the course of his long career, including "Games of Life" (1990), "Our Blue Planet" (2001) and "Unknown Africa" (2013). He has received many honors and awards - because he explains nature to his audience in a comprehensible way and thus activates them to take urgently needed action for the environment. The documentary is being released in the year of his 99th birthday.
