Ocean Seen from the Heart
World Oceans Day, set on June 8th by UNESCO, serves as a reminder of the vital role oceans play in maintaining the balance of our planet. It's the perfect occasion to delve into the documentary Ocean Seen From the Heart, featuring the late Hubert Reeves, as he offers a passionate and thorough examination of oceans worldwide.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Iolande Cadrin-Rossignol
For a long time, the ocean seemed unalterable and limitless, but the impact of our actions on its biodiversity and temperature has become increasingly alarming. In Ocean Seen from the Heart, the sequel to Earth Seen from the Heart, Hubert Reeves, surrounded by passionate scientists and explorers, invites us to rediscover what threatens the ocean, and above all, to explore its phenomenal capacity for regeneration. A hymn to Life at its richest, most precious, and necessary to preserve if we want to survive, among other species, on our blue planet.
