Here’s a trailer for Deep Rising, a new documentary narrated by Jason Momoa which premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival back in January. Momoa also executive produces the feature which is getting a US release very soon – in cinemas from 27th October. No word on a UK date as yet though.
Via the official website we have a bit about the movie itself.
A riveting tale of geopolitical, corporate and scientific intrigue, the film exposes the inner workings of the International Seabed Authority (ISA): a secretive United Nation instrument which oversees nearly half our planet’s surface on the ocean floor. The ISA is empowered to greenlight the massive extraction of metals from the seabed which are deemed essential by some to fulfill demand for the current electric battery technology. As extractive conglomerates pivot investments from oil and gas to deep-ocean mining, Deep Rising asks why we don’t instead choose to develop abundant resources to solve our growing energy demands.
Matthieu Rytz directs.
Very much looking forward to catching this one as it passed me by at the festival this year. I hope it gets a release away from its domestic soil.
Here’s the trailer.
