MVEFF: WILD NORTH SEA

We follow experienced diver and cameraman Peter van Rodijnen, who has spent the past 20 years filming in oceans around the world. Inspired by the famous explorer Jacques Cousteau, Peter decides to capture the unknown underwater world of the North Sea. So close, yet so unknown: the North Sea, the largest nature reserve in the Netherlands!

As Peter embarks on his underwater journey, he quickly faces significant challenges. He faces dangerous and powerful currents, poor visibility in murky waters, and violent storms, but his determination to unravel the secrets of this untamed natural wonder never wavers. Initially, he thought he would primarily film large and iconic species like the basking shark, orca, and tuna in the North Sea. But he soon realized that these are only one part of a much larger and interconnected system, and that the health of the North Sea depends on all its inhabitants, from the smallest plankton to the largest shark.
