My Octopus Teacher
Description
Directors James Reed and Pippa Ehrlich follow the life of Craig Foster who for years has been swimming every day in the ocean at the tip of Africa. On a random swim, Craig meets a female octopus who is remarkably curious. The film is months of footage of Craig visiting the octopus's den and tracking her movements, eventually gaining her trust. Craig and the octopus create an intimate relationship, never before seen between a human and a wild animal. The film represents an individual's connection to the ocean and how so unexpectedly one thing can change your life forever, even an octopus.
