One interesting looking film is Our Oceans: A Journey of Discovery, the blurb reads: ‘Our oceans are in a state of crisis that we’re responsible for. A team of scientists, divers, and photographers set out on a journey along one of the longest, and richest, coastlines in the world. Along the way they unveil three incredible natural phenomena while highlighting the impending threats and promoting the protection of our oceans.’ (Pro Tip: Screening @ National Academy of Sciences at 7pm on March 13th)
