AN EDA MOVIE SCREENING

OCEAN SOULS

We held our second quarterly EDA Movie Screening social event on the 5th of May with the beautiful documentary, Ocean Souls. It’s always great to see our members who are able to make it to these small events in person. As always, we also have the option to watch our quarterly documentaries online for those unable to attend the screenings and for our international members to continue enjoying EDA activities from afar. We especially want to thank Deep Dive Dubai for supporting EDA and hosting our movie screenings at their venue. 6

DIVERS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT | JUNE 2022

SYNOPSIS Ocean Souls is an emotive documentary about cetaceans, showing possibly the largest diversity ever seen on film. It highlights new science and discovers that there is an intelligence beneath the waves that closely mirrors our own. Cetaceans, despite looking so different to us, are possibly our closest relatives in terms of cognitive abilities and family ties. In the same way Live Aid united the world’s best musicians, Ocean Souls unites over 100 filmmakers, 25 of the world’s best scientists and several experts. It is truly an unprecedented collaboration.
