EXCLUSIVE: Sir David Attenborough, fresh from his latest Emmy nomination, is partnering with National Geographic for the first time on a documentary that will explore the health of the world oceans.
NatGeo announced today it has given the green light to David Attenborough: Ocean (working title), a feature length film that will “share with a global audience the story of how we can, and must, restore the glory of Earth’s vast, interconnected waters.” The network said the documentary will be “presented and authored” by Attenborough, describing the 98-year-old broadcaster and conservationist as the world’s preeminent natural historian. “After nearly a hundred years filming every aspect of the natural world, Attenborough delivers his most powerful message yet,” NatGeo writes. “In this feature-length special, he draws on his lifetime of knowledge and experience to take us on a journey of wonder through the planet’s most spectacular undersea habitats, revealing that we are currently living in the greatest age of ocean discovery, and showing beyond doubt that it is the most important place on Earth.
While Attenborough exposes the biggest problems facing our ocean, his story is one of hope, and that in front of us is an opportunity for marine life to recover on a scale no one alive has ever seen before.” In a statement, Attenborough said, “My lifetime has coincided with the great age of ocean discovery.
