Illegal Fishing, Plastic Waste & Climate Change: The Truth About What's Really Killing Our Oceans

York Hovest spent three years traveling the world's oceans with his camera & diving equipment, in search of solutions to one of the most pressing challenges of our time: saving the oceans. "Heroes of the Sea" is an encounter with people who are passionately fighting a hard - yet not always promising - battle; people who are striving to save the oceans from growing plastic waste, limitless overfishing and the supposedly unstoppable climate change with visionary ideas. In his award-winning documentary, York Hovest takes us on an adventurous hunt for illegal fishermen off the coast of West Africa and lets us experience first-hand the death grip of giant fishing nets. In Thailand, York introduces us to Andrew Hewett, a Briton who is doing everything he can to save the coral reefs from the effects of global warming and mass tourism. On the beaches of Haiti, buried under meter-high mountains of garbage, Hovest meets David Katz, who has developed a recycling system to combat plastic pollution and poverty at the same time. With his first cinematic work, the National Geographic book

Aliens on Earth: First encounter with intelligent life according to experts (full documentary)

Earth may not have been visited by aliens, but since the invention of radio and television, humans have been broadcasting signals into space, announcing our existence to other civilizations. So the question isn't “What would happen if it occurs?” but rather “When will it happen?” With unprecedented access to figures such as the Director of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs, experts from NASA, the International Space University (ISU), the SETI Institute, and military advisors, the film constructs an eerily plausible scenario of first contact on Earth, starting with the most fundamental questions: Why are they here? How do they think? What do they see in humans that we don’t see in ourselves? The implications unfold into a hallucinatory mental landscape of sounds and everyday images transformed into something extraordinary, seen through the eyes of a life form exploring our planet for the very first time. ------- Chapters ▷ 0:00:00 – The Visit ▷ 0:01:38 – First Encounter ▷ 0:03:28 – Ask Without Answers ▷ 0:05:35 – An Alien Encounter ▷ 0:10:00 – Prepared to Defend ▷ 0:15:55
