Sonic Sea: Saving Whales from Human Enterprise “I listen to the world, and to me song is life. It is the essence of who we are. And, it joins us all.”
Christopher W. Clark, Ph.D.
Johnson Senior Scientist, Bioacoustics Research Program, Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology
Directed by Michelle Dougherty and Daniel Hinerfeld, and narrated by Rachel McAdams, “Sonic Sea” calls for much more awareness of, and constructive responses to our damaging of marine life via the many sounds of industry and military operations piercing our oceans. In one hour us viewers are educated about us humans’ lethal practices and how we can alter them to save lives.
Fifteen authorities and activists describe their work and findings, and articulate what can be done now to make improvements. Whether we will do so is an open question. In any case, the purpose of this film is, of course, to be another catalyst for constructive initiatives on our part for our oceans and its magnificent creatures. Sylvia Earle, a superstar of ocean activism, and Sting, a superstar, are among the interviewees.
