THE LIVING SEA celebrates the world ocean—its beauty, diversity and importance to life on earth. Filmed in locations around the world, THE LIVING SEA also explores our relationship with this complex and fragile environment. Featuring music by Grammy-winning artist, Sting, this 40-minute motion picture is MacGillivray Freeman Films’ 16th offering to the international market of IMAX/OMNIMAX® theatres. 

The ocean covers more than 70% of the earth's surface, with an average depth of two miles. We depend on the sea to produce most of our planet's oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide. In fact, we are as dependent on the health of the ocean as the fish that swim in it. THE LIVING SEA uses powerful images of the beauty of unspoiled healthy oceans and the hope for recovery engendered by productive scientific endeavors.

THE LIVING SEA draws parallels between scientists who are seeking to learn about the sea and its ecosystems, thus helping to restore and protect its balance and the islanders of Palau, with their lore and traditions of respect for the life-giving waters and the reefs which provide their sustenance. All of us, the world over, are dependent upon the health of the sea.
