With awe-inspiring footage of the most mysterious sea life, this riveting tale of geopolitical, scientific and corporate intrigue exposes the machinations of a secretive organization empowered to greenlight massive extraction of metals from the deep seafloor.
The documentary also follows mining startup The Metals Company, as it pursues funding, public favor and permission from the International Seabed Authority to mine wide swaths of the Pacific Ocean floor. Director Matthieu Rytz's fly-on-the-wall access observes extraction companies as they co-opt scientific studies and deliver pitches to investors, proposing how the costs of industrializing our Earth's last pristine environment can be justified to access metals deemed essential to the transition to electric vehicles.
Join us on an epic journey from the deepest depths of our ocean—the most uncharted and inaccessible place on our planet—to the future of green energy, and learn how the two are inextricably linked.
D: Matthieu Rytz, US, 2023, Closed Captions, 1h25m
