Planet Ocean

Planet Ocean, by environmentalist, journalist, and photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand, explores the ocean as a complete ecosystem, using stunning cinematography by Arthus-Bertrand and Michael Pitiot to illustrate how all life on Earth is interconnected.

Rather than adopting a persuasive tone, Planet Ocean relies on the raw natural beauty of ocean life to demonstrate how precious and valuable this watery world is. By using first-person narration instead of the third person more commonly found in documentaries, the film offers a far more personal perspective on the powerful scenes presented throughout. Watching this enchanting documentary leaves a haunting impression: that humanity is the ocean’s greatest threat, but that it is not yet too late to save it.
