My Octopus Teacher (2020)
Movie
Released
85 minutes, Netflix release. Daily dives into a South African kelp forest turn an octopus's changing behaviour into a story you can follow closely. The underwater photography makes camouflage, hunting and vulnerability unusually legible. Craig Foster's personal narration is prominent, so choose this for an intimate human perspective on animal observation, with natural predation alongside the wonder.

About My Octopus Teacher
After years of swimming every day in the freezing ocean at the tip of Africa, Craig Foster meets an unlikely teacher: a young octopus who displays remarkable curiosity. Visiting her den and tracking her movements for months on end he eventually wins the animal’s trust and they develop a never-before-seen bond between human and wild animal.
