**London, UK** – Sir David Attenborough’s new documentary, *Ocean with David Attenborough*, will receive a global cinema release on May 8th, coinciding with his 99th birthday. The film, a breathtaking journey through the world’s oceans, showcases both their vibrant beauty and the urgent threats they face.
Attenborough, using stunning cinematography, reveals the vital role a healthy ocean plays in planetary stability and highlights the devastating effects of destructive fishing practices and coral bleaching. However, the documentary is ultimately a message of hope, detailing inspiring global initiatives and showcasing the ocean’s remarkable capacity for recovery. The film argues that immediate and significant marine protection is crucial for climate stabilization and a healthier future.
The release is timed to coincide with World Ocean Day and the upcoming United Nations Ocean Conference, aiming to influence global policy decisions on ocean conservation. Attenborough himself emphasizes the potential for change, highlighting recent international agreements to protect one-third of the ocean and urging collective action to make this a reality.
*Ocean with David Attenborough* is a collaborative effort between Silverback Films, Open Planet Studios, and several other organizations, including National Geographic. The film will be available on National Geographic, Disney+, and Hulu later this year. A companion initiative, Revive Our Ocean, aims to translate the film’s inspiration into on-the-ground action, supporting coastal communities in ocean protection and restoration efforts worldwide. The film’s global release is intended to inspire audiences to support these crucial conservation efforts.
