​Deep Rising is a multi-award-winning feature documentary exploring our planet’s final frontier and the mining industry’s new frontline, the deep ocean. ​From behind the scenes of international law and political intrigue, to a journey to the most vast and remote place on Earth where untold lifeforms play a critical role in maintaining the balance of our planetary system, Deep Rising paints a picture that is as equally fascinating and enlightening as it is deeply concerning.

The movie world-premiered at Sundance and has since been selected for over 130 global film festivals (including an academy award screening) and winning several prestigious prizes including a major win at The Jackson Wild Festival (the Oscars of Environmental and nature filmmaking). More importantly, grass-roots screenings in Pacific Island nations and private screenings and seminars at COP summits have helped alert government and corporate decision-makers to the dangers of deep sea mining and helped shape policy on the protection of the deep ocean, the largest living space on the planet.
