What is below the surface? What is there to know?

In the 1930s, Jacques-Yves Cousteau, a French naval officer with no formal scientific training, set out to understand our ocean by diving straight into it. “We must go and see for ourselves,” is a now-famous Jacques-Cousteau-ism—but it’s also a philosophy this adventurous explorer applied to his own life. And by going and seeing, he inspired generations of people all over the world to think and care about Earth’s oceans.

This month, you’ll have the opportunity to take a never-before-seen close-up look at the life of a man who inspired so many others to care about the sea, thanks to the new film Becoming Cousteau! Made by National Geographic’s documentary team and Oscar®-nominated filmmaker Liz Garbus, the film offers a new look at the life and legacy of Jacques Cousteau—with never-before-seen footage and important highlights from his life. We highly recommend this exciting and fascinating new film!
