BLUE, the incredible Australian documentary film directed by Karina Holden is about the crisis facing our oceans. It explores humankind’s complex relationship with the sea and what we can do to fix the problems. Filmed in the seas surrounding Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines and the USA, the doco showcases the beauty and vulnerability of the oceans and the lives of the creatures it supports.
Produced over a two-year period and featuring interviews with marine biologists, environmentalists, conservationists and advocates for ocean preservation, the film tackles themes of ocean pollution, habitat destruction and species loss. BLUE looks at how the very nature of the ocean is being altered by human activity.
Half of all marine life has been lost in the last 40 years due to unrestricted fishing, overfishing and the harvesting of fish and other sea creatures for food and exploitation of ocean resources. The pervasiveness of litter and pollutants, deep-sea dumping and oil spills has also hugely impacted ocean health and marine life. By 2050, the film claims, there will be more plastic in the sea than fish.
