What Ocean with David Attenborough Is About

Released on David Attenborough's ninety ninth birthday, the film moves from coral reefs to kelp forests to the open ocean, but its real weight sits in one sequence: bottom trawling filmed from below as the gear scrapes the seabed, which had never been shown this way before. The team handed that footage to the scientific community and put it into open access. Attenborough's conclusion is not despair; the argument he makes is that marine life can recover at a scale most people do not expect. Toby Nowlan, Colin Butfield and Keith Scholey directed it together.
