Ocean with David Attenborough.

A world beneath the waves worth protecting.

David Attenborough explores ocean habitats and the damage caused by industrial fishing. Alongside the destruction, the documentary visits places where protection has allowed marine life to recover.

Why it’s a little special

Best for a family ready to talk about conservation after seeing both extraordinary sea life and the consequences of human choices.

US film rating

Fishing footage shows trapped, injured and dead animals and damage to the seabed. Environmental loss and climate concerns can be upsetting; this is more intense than a gentle wildlife tour.

Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
