Deep Rising

Deep Rising delves into the little-known twists and turns of deepwater mining, a highly invasive industry that jeopardizes the fragile ecosystem of the abyss. Director Matthieu Rytz denounces the hypocrisy of the economic community in the face of the climate crisis, the illusory promises of electrification, and the privatization of this heritage of humanity.

2023 - Present

Challenge

The deep sea is one of Earth’s last untouched frontiers, rich in biodiversity and vital to planetary health. But as interest in deep-sea mining grows, this fragile ecosystem faces unprecedented risk. The rush to extract metals from the seabed could cause irreversible harm before we even begin to understand what we stand to lose. While most people remain unaware of the scale and implications of what is being proposed, the consequences will affect everyone.

Action

Directed by Matthieu Rytz, narrated by Jason Momoa and premiered at Sundance with the support of Dona Bertarelli Philanthropy, Deep Rising is a tale of geopolitical, scientific and corporate intrigue: investigating the future of the world’s energy crisis and how it is currently tied to the fate of the deep ocean floor, which is intricately tied to our survival.
