From the Wild Sea

Night and day, all year round, they work tirelessly to rescue whales, dolphins, seals and birds. But things are getting worse. As climate change fuels violent weather across the seas, and the annual winter storms come at them with an unprecedented ferocity, their task becomes increasingly difficult.

From the Wild Sea is a poetic film that looks unflinchingly at the complex collisions between humans and other animals in the emerging era of the Anthropocene. Honouring both the human and animal perspective, the intimate gaze of the film follows volunteers as they work to rescue and rehabilitate animals back into the wild. Meanwhile, the rescued animals look right back us. Insisting that we are all a part of the same world.
