Storyline
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.
“For Foster the kelp forest, with its hard realities isn’t a stage set for good vs. evil but an inclusive metaphor—a ‘giant underwater brain’ that directs life in its manifold forms, of which ’She’ [the octopus] and those she hunts and is hunted by, are at once brief but enduring archetypes.” -Tracy Dahlby, Dallas Morning News
