ADVENTURE. ACTION. OCEAN LIFE.

Skipper Tracy Edwards looks up at the sails that will carry her around the world. She and the first all-female crew of the Whitbread Round The World Race don’t know it yet, but they will go on to make history aboard their ship Maiden. In the process, Edwards unwittingly becomes a pioneer for gender equality. Her adolescent rage against the world—and against herself—can only be tamed by the healing powers of the ocean. And she is not alone. Bethany Hamilton is just 13 years old when the ocean almost takes her life. She loses her left arm in a life-threatening shark attack, but in return, the ocean gives her a life of adventure. Today, Hamilton is part of the international surfing elite.

Through very personal stories, this year’s International OCEAN FILM TOUR illustrates the ocean's life-changing power. With five inspiring films, Volume 7 takes ocean lovers to a place where earth meets water, where light is brought into the darkness, and where second chances offer a breath of new life.

UNSTOPPABLE A budding talent on the Hawaiian surf scene, Bethany Hamilton is just 13 years old when she is attacked by a tiger shark, instantaneously losing her left arm. What would have been the end of a promising career in surfing for anyone else marked the starting point of Hamilton’s tour de force in the sport she so loves. UNSTOPPABLE is her story.

DEAN GOES SURFING The inclusive power of the ocean

Dean is passionate about three things— waves, breakfast, and the Queen of Rap, Rihanna. And like any surfing teenager, he can think of nothing better than spending a day riding the waves. "I’m like a human fish. In the water, it’s like I don’t have Down’s syndrome anymore." DEAN GOES SURFING is a celebration of life at the beach and a testament to the ocean’s power to unite people of all abilities.

The life and times of Mike deGruy It just makes sense that a guy like Mike deGruy was born in a place like Mobile, Alabama. Here, where five rivers meet the ocean, his fascination for water and all life within it became obvious at an early age. DIVING DEEP is not only a tribute to one of the world’s most prolific ocean cinematographers but also a celebration of the principal emotion deGruy exuded and still elicits with his life’s work— a sense of wonder.

THE ARMSTRONGS

Family portrait in blue

This South African surfing family lives a life many would deem unconventional. Ian is a provider, surfboard shaper, big wave surfer, and above all else, a father. He, his wife Lee, and their seven children and one grandson redefine what is "normal" and challenge the perspective of modern family values. THE ARMSTRONGS is a beautifully shot family portrait and a reminder to think outside the box.

MAIDEN

An all-female crew takes on the world of sailing Skipper Tracy Edwards has a big dream but no crew and no boat—small problems compared to the icy headwind and the machismo that the 26-year-old Englishwoman is met with by the male-dominated sailing scene of the 1980s. It's 2 September 1989, and the time is now. Edwards enters the prestigious Whitbread Round the World Race with her boat Maiden and history’s first all-female crew. MAIDEN tells the singular story of a pioneering voyage— 33,000 nautical miles towards equality.

MANRY AT SEA

A hobby sailor and his audacious endeavor A happily married father of two by the name of Robert Manry decides he has had enough of his job at the news desk. Pursuing a childhood dream (and keeping a promise), he takes his 13.5-foot sloop Tinkerbelle on a solo transatlantic voyage from the East coast of the United States to England. MANRY AT SEA is an incredible ocean tale that shows how our childhood dreams can become our life’s biggest adventures.

KEITH LADZINSKI X ADIDAS TERREX

THE BIG PICTURE Front row access to nature brings a unique perspective on the issues facing our planet and the personal benefits of letting the outside in. World-renowned photographer, Keith Ladzinski talks sustainability, the outdoors and the new TERREX Free Hiker Parley. “When I think of the outdoors, I think of freedom, a place with no boundaries. It’s where I go to clear my head and find creativity”, Keith Ladzinski explains. It’s no wonder he feels right at home in the Rocky Mountains, where he is based. Whether he is hiking up a mountain to photograph rock climbers in South Africa, snapping endangered gentoo penguins in Antarctica or scoping the best spots to shoot skateboarders in a city, Keith Ladzinski knows first-hand how it feels to be awestruck and mentally enlivened by the power of nature and being outside.

phy is almost therapy for me. It’s my passport to go outside and experience fresh air.”

A hugely talented and world-renowned photographer, who regularly gigs for National Geographic and spends much of his working week outdoors, Keith is big on championing the benefits of hiking and spending time in nature for body and mind. “It’s primordial,” he says. “As civilization has evolved we’ve spent more and more time inside; we live in a society where distraction is all around us, from the smartphone in your pocket to constant noise and traffic in the city. It’s important to turn that off from time to time and let the outside in.”

The fragility of the environment is a key and constant theme in Keith’s work. From the climate crisis to the havoc wreaked by overfishing and plastic pollution, he says: “I want people to realize they can make reasonable changes in their lives, which will have a massive impact on the planet. My biggest piece of advice? Avoid single use plastics at all costs.” With that in mind Keith supports the work done by adidas to use recycled materials in the product design of the new TERREX Free Hiker Parley. "The collaboration between adidas and Parley is very forward thinking; I was excited when I first heard about it. On my travels I see ocean plastic washed up on beaches and shorelines all the time, so being able to repurpose things is seriously important.”

But his biggest wish is for his photographs to affect people; to drive them to make real change in their lives, and get out of their comfort zone. “It’s high praise when you hear a picture you shot inspired somebody to go and see a place or simply be outside more. Or to be motivated about a certain cause. Photography has the power to do that because it can tell stories without captions, it can take you to a place you’ve never been and show you what’s happening there.”

“Hiking is great exercise for my muscles and my creativity,” he says. “I feel like I hit the lottery in life, to find passion in my hobby and somehow make it a profession. Photogra-

UNSTOPPABLE

Pro surfer Bethany Hamilton had to stop comparing herself at an early age. After losing her left arm in a life-threatening shark attack, she taught herself to surf again. In our interview she talks about mental strength, her love for the ocean, and the art of finding your own way in life.

Surfing with special needs youth

THE OCEAN IS FOR EVERYONE

The Atlantic Ocean off the coast of New Hampshire is cold to freezing, but that doesn’t stop these surfers from jumping into the water. What started as an initiative for teaching kids with special needs how to surf has grown into a movement. Alongside dozens of other surfers, Dean Marion storms Hampton beach and its icy waves. The beaming smiles

on the faces of this energetic group speak for themselves. The organization “Surfing with Smiles” chose the right name. Supported by a local surf shop and lots of volunteers, founders Lindsey Mercer and Taylor Thomas have made it their mission to get ocean lovers of all abilities onto surfboards and riding the waves.

THE ARMSTRONGS

F A M I LY VALUES The Armstrongs live a life far from the beaten path of convention. For this family of many, spending time in nature is the most valuable commodity.

Photo: Arthur Neumeier

Despite three generations living under one roof, the Armstrong family has one thing they can agree on—a pretty big thing, covering almost 70 percent of the Earth's surface. The ocean always brings this South African surfer family back on the same wavelength, so to speak. Ian Armstrong, former big wave champion turned surfboard shaper, shares a home off the coast of South Africa with his wife Lee, their seven children, and one grandchild. The air tastes salty and the ocean isn’t far, but modern

society’s conventions seem a world away. Here, community outweighs material riches and time spent in nature holds more value than money in the bank. When the Armstrongs take to the beach, every member of the family expresses their individuality; mom Lee looks relaxed on her longboard, Asha prefers a short fish, Ruth pops up on her shortboard, and dad Ian takes the family’s youngest into the waves on a bodyboard. THE ARMSTRONGS shows us a life in which the ocean is a member of the family.

When Mike deGruy speaks, every sentence seems be punctuated with an exclamation point. "If you want to get away from it all and see something that you have never seen before, get in a submarine!" The underwater cinematographer takes the stage and is positively beaming. With vigor and big gestures, he explains the fascinating world of the octopus and enthralls the audience with tales of the great unknown—the deep sea. Here, where the big blue turns ink black, where countless species have remained undiscovered for thousands of years, Mike deGruy feels the most alive. At Sylvia Earle’s Mission Blue TED Summit, deGruy explains his fascination for the mid-ocean ridge. "This ecosystem was completely unknown and made scientists rethink where life on earth might have actually begun. The key to life on earth was believed to be the sun and photosynthesis. But down there, there is no sun. It’s a chemosynthetic environment."

DeGruys's fascination for the ocean and its inhabitants began on the river delta of his native Mobile, Alabama. He and his three brothers discovered the world of water and every living thing he could get his hands on. With each film project, the cinematographer took a deep dive into the oceanic cosmos to entertain and educate a growing TV audience. His enthusiasm remained unbridled, even when a grey reef shark severely injured his left arm. In later years, his love for marine life made deGruy a passionate environmental activist and a key witness to the destruction caused by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Renowned nature documentarian Sir David Attenborough portrays deGruy as a man who possessed "vigor, joy, energy, and courage" but, in reminiscing about his fellow ocean lover, Attenborough returns to one word that best describes Mike deGruy: Wonder.

MIKE DEGRUY Born as one of four brothers, Mike deGruy grew up in Mobile, Alabama. His appetite for exploration lead him to study marine biology. Along with his business partner and wife, producer Mimi Armstrong deGruy, he created award-winning programs for National Geographic, BBC, PBS, and more. Mike deGruy died in a helicopter crash during a film shoot in Australia in 2012.

„KNOWLEDGE DISSIPATES FEAR“ Ocean advocate Mike deGruy

Oceans are essential to our survival on this planet. Seventy percent of the Earth's oxygen is produced by our oceans. With every breath, we inhale salty air into our lungs—and we aren’t the only ones. Every living thing on this planet depends on the ocean. The Int. OCEAN FILM TOUR is a platform for marine conservation and protection and is an information hub for and about projects and initiatives to protect life above and beneath the water's surface.

SAVE THE WHALES, SAVE THE CLIMATE These gentle giants make an important contribution to fighting climate change in a few surprising ways—absorbing, excreting, and mixing. Whales bodies absorb carbon and then excrete waste containing substances that phytoplankton need to grow. In addition, by diving and resurfacing, they "mix" the water layers, pushing nutrients from the bottom to the surface, feeding the phytoplankton. Through these processes, whales enhance carbon capture, thereby facilitating increased oxygen production. Our future on this planet is therefore dependent on their survival.

SILENT OCEANS Levels of human-generated, underwater noise pollution has doubled every decade for the past 60 years in some ocean regions. Military operations (including sonar), the oil and gas industry, and shipping traffic are the cause of the destructive noise, which can travel thousands of kilometers before it falls silent or meets a receiver, which unfortunately is typically an inhabitant of the sea. The noise does not only impede the ocean dweller's communication and search for food but also their orientation. One effect can be mass beachings of whales and dolphins. OceanCare seeks to bring a bit of silence back to the oceans. In 2011, OceanCare was granted Special Consultative Status on marine issues by the U.N.

WATER IS LIFE

Bits of a Styrofoam box, plastic fork tongs, water bottle shards… these are some of the countless pieces of plastic that wash up every day on the world’s beaches. In 2021, the European Union member states will finally implement a total ban of single-use plastic items. The Surfrider Foundation has been pushing the effort to ban plastic bottles, plastic straws, and other single-use plastic packaging from restaurants. The decomposition of plastic items and plastic coating can take decades, even up to hundreds of years. What remains is micro-plastic particles that are less than five millimeters in diameter. These particles make their way around the globe, into the intestines of ocean dwellers, and also onto our plates.

Water and air. These are the two most essential elements required by human existence. Although two thirds of the earth’s surface is covered by water, 2.2 billion people worldwide do not have access to clean drinking water. Wells can provide some drinking water, but they are not the only option. Viva con Agua takes a holistic approach that provides much more than the construction of wells, toilets, and facilities to wash your hands.

Little did he know that his 78-day transatlantic journey from Massachusetts to England would cast a rivalry between his resident newspaper and a competitive news outlet into a full-fledged race for the latest scoop.

Robert Manry knew what he was doing when he christened his boat Tinkerbelle. The happily married father of two had promised himself to never grow up—a mindset popularized as "Peter Pan syndrome"—so it was only fitting that his boat be named after Peter Pan’s counterpart, the fairy Tinker Bell.

In the 1980s, Tracy Edwards dreamed of racing a sailboat around the world. At age 26, she started assembling an all-female crew and soon found herself in the middle of storm of a different kind - the backlash of the male-dominated sport was intense. MAIDEN tells the story of a woman who refused to accept the status quo and sailed into history.

LAST PICTURE

ON PATROL After the standing ovation at the Int. OCEAN FILM TOUR Volume 6 premiere, Sea Shepherd captain Peter Hammarstedt (third from left) headed back to the frontlines of ocean protection. In January 2020, his ship, the M/Y Bob Barker, was on patrol off the coast of The Gambia, West Africa, in partnership with local authorities and regional partners. Catch of the day: A trawler illegally finning sharks and endangered rays. "Sea Shepherd is proud to support the leadership of The Gambia in eradicating illegal fishing from its waters as well as protecting vulnerable and endangered populations of sharks

and rays," says Peter Hammarstedt. The support of the International OCEAN FILM TOUR was significant and tangible for Captain Hammarstedt and the entire Sea Shepherd crew. The captivating environmental high seas thriller CHASING THE THUNDER was voted Volume 6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite film. Hammarstedt was on stage to receive the 2019 Audience Award in the name of Sea Shepherd. His message is clear: The fight for the preservation of marine life continues. In his acceptance speech, he called upon all ocean lovers to change their consumption habits and support ocean protection, which is needed now more than ever.
