Mission Blue

Sylvia Earle has been to Mountainfilm many times, most recently in 2008 for the symposium that explored the theme of water. She returns in this feature documentary about her life and accomplishments as “Her Deepness,” the moniker bestowed upon her for the tireless work she’s done in and for the oceans. Director Fisher Stevens, who produced The Cove (Mountainfilm 2010), follows Earle after she gets the TED prize, which allows her to pursue her dream to create a global network of protected marine sanctuaries.
