About
You can stream My Octopus Teacher (2020) on Netflix with a subscription.
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.
A filmmaker finds unexpected solace in the rhythmic, alien world of a South African kelp forest. This intimate connection between man and cephalopod reveals the startling intelligence hiding beneath the frigid waves.
