Directed by Toby Nowlan | UK | 2025 | 1h 25m

Celebrated broadcaster and naturalist David Attenborough takes us on a personal journey through the great age of ocean discovery. Through stunning footage of coral reefs, kelp forests, and the vast open ocean, he reveals how vital a healthy ocean is to the stability and wellbeing of our planet. Immersive cinematography captures the breathtaking beauty of marine life while also confronting the urgent challenges our oceans face. Yet, this is ultimately a story of hope. Attenborough highlights inspiring efforts from around the world, delivering a powerful message: with care and action, our oceans can recover to become more vibrant than ever before in human memory.

Reviews

‘Attenborough matches the natural world’s grandeur with his own intellectual and moral seriousness.’
★★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

‘This cracking campaigning documentary makes a galvanising case for action – and without lobbing its audience overboard with an anchor weight of hopelessness yoked to their heels.’
★★★★
Robbie Collin, The Telegraph

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road. We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
