A PLEA FROM THE DEEP

This short film and it’s narrator hope to address the plight of our world and those who dwell upon it,
to draw attention to the vital importance of natural ecosystems, both in the continued survival of
the diverse species that call it home, but also for human life itself.
We rely on the oceans and forests to replenish our atmosphere with oxygen and remove carbon dioxide.
We rely on the interconnections of all flora and fauna, in the lattice of life and death,
and If we continue to use the oceans as an open sewer and the forests as a resource, we will cause
irrecoverable damage that will directly effect the long term habitability of our planet.
But it also asks us to remember our connections to those other species and in this case the oceans,
a place where all life began; and to our mammalian cousins, the whales, whose familial ties,
complex language and behaviour shows that we share far more than a deep history and that we must
respect their right to live without the threat of human interference.
