Documentary about the world's oceans screened on the Irene P. Flinn Giant Screen at the Arizona Science Center.
Oceans: Our Blue Planet is playing at the Arizona Science Center on Tuesday, November 3, and it's part of a run that keeps going through the month. It's a documentary that takes you on a global odyssey of the world's oceans, the largest and least explored habitat on Earth. The film draws on new ocean science and technology to travel from coastal shallows down into deeper, more mysterious worlds, bringing to light the untold stories of some of the ocean's most astonishing creatures.
There are a few specific animals that get their own moment. You'll see a tusk fish that uses a tool to open its food and a cunning octopus that shields herself in an armoury of shells to hide from predators. The film doesn't just stay in one spot; it moves from the shallows to the deep, showing how different these worlds are from one another.
