About

Ocean with David Attenborough takes viewers on a breath-taking journey showing there is nowhere more vital for our survival; more full of life, wonder, or surprise; than the ocean.

The celebrated broadcaster and filmmaker reveals how his lifetime has coincided with the great age of ocean discovery. Through spectacular sequences featuring coral reefs, kelp forests and the open ocean, Attenborough shares why a healthy ocean keeps the entire planet stable and flourishing.

The screening will take place inside the museum's state-of-the-art Dive the Mary Rose 4D theatre.

The film is included in admission to the Mary Rose Museum or with an Ultimate Explorer ticket. Both screenings on June 7 and 8 will start at 10am. There is seating for 40 people, offered on a first come, first served basis.

Stunning, immersive cinematography showcases the wonder of life under the seas and exposes the realities and challenges facing our ocean as never-before-seen, from destructive fishing techniques to mass coral reef bleaching. Yet the story is one of optimism, with Attenborough pointing to inspirational stories from around the world to deliver his greatest message: the ocean can recover to a glory beyond anything anyone alive has ever seen.

Ocean with David Attenborough is a Silverback Films and Open Planet Studios co-production, in association with All3Media International, National Geographic, and Minderoo Pictures. The film is directed by Toby Nowlan, Keith Scholey and Colin Butfield and produced by Nowlan. The film is co-produced by Arksen & 10% for the Ocean, Don Quixote Foundation, National Geographic Society and Pristine Seas, Revive Our Ocean, and The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation.

In honour of World Oceans Day, ICMM (International Congress of Maritime) member organisations from around the world have united to jointly screen Ocean with David Attenborough. Global community screenings through ICMM member organisations are generously supported by the Minderoo Foundation.
