About Ocean with David Attenborough
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.”
'Hope to inspire Indians to see our oceans'
Alok Jain, President - Entertainment, JioStar added, "At National Geographic India, we believe that storytelling has the power to ignite change. OCEAN WITH DAVID ATTENBOROUGH is a landmark film that reminds us how interconnected we are with our oceans, even here in India, where over 11,000 kilometers of coastline support vibrant marine life and millions of livelihoods. Through David Attenborough’s unmatched narration and breathtaking visuals, we hope to inspire Indians to see our oceans not just as distant waters but as living systems that need our urgent protection. This is not just a global story - it is our story too."
The documentary dives deep into the challenges confronting our oceans while inspiring audiences with achievable, science-backed solutions to safeguard them. Its release is timed with World Oceans Day, the upcoming United Nations Ocean Conference 2025 in Nice, France, and the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–2030).
