Ocean with David Attenborough will take viewers on a “breathtaking journey” showcasing the “life”, “wonder” and “surprise” hidden below the depths of the ocean.
Talking about the documentary, Silverback Films said: “In the film the celebrated broadcaster and filmmaker reveals how his lifetime has coincided with the great age of ocean discovery.
“Through spectacular sequences featuring coral reefs, kelp forests and the open ocean, Attenborough shares why a healthy ocean keeps the entire planet stable and flourishing.
“Stunning, immersive cinematography showcases the wonder of life under the seas and exposes the realities and challenges facing our ocean as never-before-seen, from destructive fishing techniques to mass coral reef bleaching.
“Yet the story is one of optimism, with Attenborough pointing to inspirational stories from around the world to deliver his greatest message: the ocean can recover to a glory beyond anything anyone alive has ever seen.”
Sir David Attenborough opens up about ‘end of my life’ in new documentary
During the documentary, Sir David reflects on “nearly a hundred years on this planet” and what he has learned.
Sir David, according to The Metro, said: “When I first saw the sea as a young boy, it was thought of as a vast wilderness to be tamed and mastered for the benefit of humanity.
“Now, as I approach the end of my life, we know the opposite is true.
“After living for nearly a hundred years on this planet, I now understand that the most important place on Earth is not on land, but at sea.”
