This World Oceans Day, National Geographic is set to premiere a powerful new documentary — OCEAN WITH DAVID ATTENBOROUGH. Airing on Sunday, the film marks the first-ever collaboration between the iconic broadcaster Sir David Attenborough and National Geographic.
Presented by the celebrated 99-year-old natural historian, the feature-length documentary sheds light on the untold story of our planet’s oceans and how each of us can play a role in restoring their vitality. A leader in exploration, science, and storytelling, National Geographic joins hands with Attenborough to deliver a stirring call to action — a blend of awe-inspiring visuals, science, and solutions. Like every time, this time too, he leaves us with an important lesson — “If we save the sea, we save our world.”
Attenborough said, “My lifetime has coincided with the great age of ocean discovery. Over the last hundred years, scientists and explorers have revealed remarkable new species, epic migrations, and dazzling, complex ecosystems beyond anything I could have imagined as a young man. In this film, we share those wonderful discoveries, uncover why our ocean is in such poor health, and, perhaps most importantly, show how it can bounce back to life.”
