Very brave octopus. Human beings, as a group, are the most dangerous animal on the planet.
-
How anyone could watch this interaction between Craig & this wonderful octopus and not be monumentally changed is unfathomable. Best documentary ever!!! Thanks Christiane for introducing this film to your PBS audience.
-
We need more people willing to document their relationships with animals. We really know so little.
-
I see octopus dead in grocery shelves and it makes me sad and angry how humans reduce other living beings to “products” to be consumed, often killed with cruelty.
-
Oh how I love that movie documentary - Watched 13 times already ❤️
-
This is by far the most beautiful thing I've seen in a L-O-N-G time. Thank you, Craig and Pippa and Hari! Can't wait to see the full film.
-
This really shows our understanding of animals, and their behaviors are just beginning.
-
husband & I watched the documentary and cried like babies - it was so beautiful and you can't help but to fall in love w/ her and all the beauty in her environment and realizing how fragile we all are w/o our healthy planet and we're on a destructive trajectory and will destroy all the beauty on this planet as we destroy ourselves - it opened our eyes and hearts on a whole new level of conservation
-
Such a moving film! Watching Craig shift emotionally as he allows himself to be intimate with nature through the octopus relationship is heart opening.
-
I hope the people of Japan will watch this and stop eating octopus.
-
After seeing the film, I now have an almost Pavlovian response to cry, even just talking about it. This wonderful creature is now swimming fluidly in my meditations. She's my inspiration.
-
It takes a Special Human, to understand another animals boundaries, see their perspective, on their level, and obtain their acceptance👍🏼💕 Phenomenal!❤️
-
The film is amazing. I fell in love with the little octopus - cheering her escapes and (spoiler alert), tearing up over her passing. I look at marine animals completely differently now. Extraordinary film.
-
Those who know have known for some time that cephalopods have intelligence and insight beyond any other creatures. We must respect them (and never, ever eat them!)
-
This was such a soothing and enlightening series. Learned a lot. Felt better about my own burnout. Loved it!
-
Once I started, I could not stop until the end. It was very very moving. I am glad I have been a vegetarian for the last 30 years.
-
I loved this little movie! I was expecting just a documentary film, but it was so much more than that! ❣
-
I loved this movie. I had the best cry ever, that I probably needed at the time. Wonderful story.
-
Beautiful film that I hope everyone will have a chance to see.
-
Everyone should see this to help themselves and their home.
