I was browsing films and programmes on Netflix last night and suddenly a man with an octopus in water caught my eye. Having been fascinated by octopuses since I read about their lives last month, I was quickly lured to this documentary My Octopus Teacher. Wow. It was the most moving nature film documentary I have ever watched. By far. |

My Octopus Teacher is about a strange and yet beautiful friendship between a filmmaker Craig Foster and an octopus. Being burnout, depressed and __ with his family relationships, Craig took a career break and came back to his hometown, Cape Town. One day, while swimming in a kelp forest, he stumbled across a 'ball' that was covered with shells and stuff. It was an octopus. He decided to come visit her every day. |
