A plea addressed to humanity for respect for the world in which we live.

A film by Yann Arthus-Bertrand and Michael Pitiot

​

“Planet Ocean” is a 90-minute international documentary produced by Hope Production,

in association with the Tara Foundation and in partnership with OMEGA.

​

“Planet Ocean” is a plea addressed to humanity for respect for the world in which we live.

​

“For a long time I contemplated the ocean without understanding it. I felt the immense energy of its waters. I was surprised at the depth of his bruises. I breathed in the sea air.

But in reality I didn’t see anything…”

 

This is what humanity says at the beginning of the film “Planet Ocean”.

Thanks to breathtaking aerial images, by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, and those of award-winning underwater cameramen, the film takes its viewers on a unique journey

to the heart of our blue planet.

​

Co-written by Michael Pilot, in collaboration with a unique team of oceanographers and biologists from several countries, this work shows the beauty of the oceans, their diversity, their usefulness, but also the threats that present to them today and the solutions that can be found.

Because Man is both the cause and the solution to all problems...

​

From plankton to whales, from fishermen in Papua New Guinea to container ships transiting between China and the USA, from coastal metropolises to beaches popular with vacationers... this documentary reminds us that we are all inhabitants of the same blue planet and explores the ancestral and fragile bond that unites Man and the oceans.
