About Our Oceans

Excellence in Media


Executive produced by the Obamas and James Honeyborne, from the Emmy-winning filmmakers behind "Our Great National Parks,” Netflix series, Our Oceans is an ambitious project that illustrates just how much we have in common with the animals that populate our oceans — and how their lives are impacted by the choices we make on land. Narrated by President Barack Obama, each episode is dedicated to one of the world’s five oceans — Pacific, Indian, Atlantic, Arctic, and Southern — taking viewers on a 75,000-mile cruise across and beneath the surface. Utilizing cutting-edge research and newly developed underwater filmmaking technology, the series spends time with well-loved animals like dolphins and sea turtles while featuring other sea creatures and natural phenomena that have never before been captured on camera.
