Four years in the making, 10% for the Ocean has co-produced what is expected to be one of the most important feature documentary films of the decade: Oceans with Sir David Attenborough. The premiere will be attended by His Majesty The King, along with a distinguished list of dignitaries and celebrities.

10% for the Ocean is proud to have partnered with Silverback, the world’s leading natural history programme maker, to co-produce this landmark film. With additional support from All3Media International, Minderoo Productions, the National Geographic Society and Pristine Seas, Don Quixote ASBL, and The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, the film will premiere in London before being launched globally.

Directed by Toby Nowlan, Keith Scholey, and Colin Butfield, and produced by Nowlan for Silverback, the film features executive producers from leading organisations in ocean conservation and documentary filmmaking, including Jasper Smith and Arksen Ltd for 10% for the Ocean, Louise Pedersen and Rachel Job for All3Media International, Tom McDonald and Janet Han Vissering for National Geographic, Minderoo Productions Limited, Enric Sala for the National Geographic Society and Pristine Seas, Kristin Rechberger for Dynamic Planet, Rolly van Rappard and Françoise van Rappard for Don Quixote ASBL, and HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco for The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation.

Jasper Smith, CEO of Arksen and a Trustee of 10% for the Ocean, said:
"10% acts as a catalyst for change, and we are delighted to have co-produced and supported this vital film and the impact campaign behind it. We believe that this film’s impact on ocean conservation will be profound and long-lasting, and it’s a great example of the work 10% for the Ocean does."

Doug Anderson (Blue Planet and Our Planet), described by National Geographic as one of the world’s leading underwater cinematographers, served as director of underwater photography. "Cameras have filmed across the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Oceania, capturing the practical and affordable solutions to reversing harmful human activity along coral reefs, mangroves, coastal communities, fish farms, marine sanctuaries, and many other habitats in order to return the ocean to its most pristine and vibrant state."

After nearly a hundred years of filming the natural world, Sir David Attenborough delivers his most powerful message yet. In this feature-length special, he draws on a lifetime of knowledge and experience to take us on a journey through the planet’s most spectacular undersea habitats, revealing that we are living in the greatest age of ocean discovery. While Attenborough exposes the biggest threats facing our seas, his story is ultimately one of hope—an opportunity for marine life to recover on a scale no one alive has ever seen before.

In a statement, Attenborough said:
"My lifetime has coincided with the great age of ocean discovery. Over the last hundred years, scientists and explorers have revealed remarkable new species, epic migrations, and dazzling, complex ecosystems beyond anything I could have imagined as a young man. In this film, we share those wonderful discoveries, uncover why our ocean is in such poor health, and, perhaps most importantly, show how it can bounce back to life."

Beyond his work as a naturalist, Attenborough may rank as the greatest narrator of non-fiction storytelling of all time, known for his warm, engaging, and authoritative tone that conveys deep delight and wonder in the natural world. He recently earned an Emmy nomination for Best Narrator for Planet Earth III from BBC America—his eighth nomination in that category. He has won the award three times, most recently in 2020 for narrating Seven Worlds, One Planet.
