Partnering with National Geographic for the first time, this feature-length film aims to illuminate the health of the world's oceans, premiering in cinemas on May 8.
The emotional trailer showcases breathtaking visuals of marine life, including whales on epic journeys and vibrant underwater ecosystems. Attenborough reflects on his nearly century-long journey, stating,
“The most important place on Earth is not on land, but at sea.”
He emphasizes that understanding the ocean is crucial for our planet's future.
In the trailer, he warns of the dire state of our oceans, saying,
“We are draining the life from our ocean,” while highlighting destructive fishing practices and coral bleaching. Yet, he offers a message of optimism: “The ocean can recover faster than we ever imagined.”
Attenborough describes this recovery as a lifeline for humanity, asserting that if we save the sea, we save our world. The documentary promises stunning cinematography and inspiring stories that reveal how a healthy ocean is vital for global stability.
Following its theatrical release, Ocean will be available for streaming on National Geographic, Disney+, and Hulu later this year. Tickets are available now at oceanfilm.net.
