Documentary

My Father, The Captain: Jacques-Yves Cousteau revisits the adventure and the legacy of Captain Cousteau not only through intimate stories from his family but also from some of the people whose lives he influenced. In rediscovered footage of the earliest days of scuba diving, Jean-Michel Cousteau shows how his father brought the great unseen ocean into focus and into our homes. Jean-Michel and the next generation of Cousteau children, now adults, describe the legacy they have taken upon themselves to carry and cast a meaningful light on the life and work of a man who inspired millions to reconsider our relationship with the sea and its creatures.
