Event Description
BECOMING COUSTEAU

Capt. Jacques-Yves Cousteau was one of the 20th century’s great explorers, a filmmaker and beloved adventurer who documented the exotic wonders below the ocean with pioneering equipment that yielded a Cannes Film Festival-winning film, two Academy Awards®, and a pair of iconic and long-running television shows, “The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau” and “The Cousteau Odyssey.” His work became synonymous with life on the sea and on his famous boat, the Calypso.  He authored over 50 books on his aquatic life and invented the Aqua-Lung, advancing the boundaries of scuba diving. As an environmentalist, Cousteau would have his most lasting impact, alerting the world about the warming oceans decades before the climate crisis made headlines. Instrumental in protecting Antarctica and taking part in the first Earth Summit, Cousteau’s insight into what needs to be done for the planet continues to inspire people all over the world. With access to a wealth of archival material, Academy Award-nominated filmmaker, Liz Garbus, takes an inside look at Cousteau’s life, the experiences that made him the 20th century’s most unique and renowned environmental voice, and rallied generations to protect the Earth.
