Film Premiere Deep Rising. Directed by Matthieu Rytz, USA, 93 min, 2022

Directed by Matthieu Rytz (Anote's Ark, Sundance 2018), this exquisite fly-on-the-wall environmental documentary is also a gripping up-to-the-minute tale of geopolitical, scientific, and corporate intrigue that exposes the destructive machinations of a secretive organization empowered to extract massive amounts of metails from the deep seafloor.

Narrated by Jason Momoa, Deep Rising illuminates the vital relationship between the deep ocean and sustaining life on Earth.

The film will be followed by a discussion with Prof. Surabhi Ranganathan, International Law, University of Cambridge, Helen Scales, Marine biologist, Deep Sea expert and award-winning author.
