Soul of the Ocean

50' (ENG, GER), 80' (ENG)

‘Soul of the Ocean’, written, directed and produced by Emmy Award winning couple Michele and Howard Hall, explores the complexity of ocean ecosystems.

Spectacular underwater cinematography reveals communities of interdependent marine species and highlights the critical role biodiversity plays in maintaining a healthy ocean. The film demonstrates the value of cooperation between species and high marine biodiversity. Symbiotic relationships between species dominate life in the sea. From the tiniest coral polyp to the largest fish in the ocean, life here is governed by cooperation between myriad species. Complex marine life communities have evolved from these interspecies relationships. In these communities, citizens are dependent upon each other. And these cooperative relationships have contributed to the high biodiversity in the ocean. Every species has a part to play. And today, as humans become increasingly intimate with the ocean, we discover that we have a part to play as well. Take a deep breath and experience the complex world of ocean waters.
