OCEAN WARRIORS
OCEAN WARRIORS is the Jackson Hole Best Series Award-winning, 6-hour television special event following activists around the world as they fight to save our oceans.
The oceans cover over 70 % of the planet but they are in big trouble. More than three billion of the earth’s population rely on the oceans as a significant source of their food yet 90% of all large fish are gone, and ancient species such as Atlantic Cod and Bluefin Tuna have been decimated by industrial fishing fleets and plundered by criminal gangs. Scientists warn that without better regulation and enforcement, in another fifty years large-scale commercial fishing will be over. The future of the oceans is the crisis of our generation and a call to global action.
The series was produced by Brick City in partnership with Robert Redford and Laura Michalchyshyn from Sundance productions and Paul G. Allen from Vulcan productions, and is now streaming on DISCOVERY+.
Winner of best series award at the Jackson Hole Wildlife film festival.
“We were very surprised to win this prestigious award as David Attenborough’s Planet Earth II was in the best series category, never imagined we could take home that prize . ” - Mark Benjamin
