Becoming Cousteau

Scene from Becoming Coustea

Recent and Recommended

Where: National Geographic
What: Movie, 94 mins.
When: Now
Genre: Documentary
Why you should watch: Watch legendary environmentalist Jacques Cousteau go from swashbuckling, macho undersea adventurer to dedicated earth warrior committed to saving the seas he once treated like an adventure playground. This honest doc shows how the oil industry attempted to seduce the seductive scientist, trying to get him to utilize technology he invented, like the aqualung and submersible cameras, to develop oil exploration. Cousteau eventually rejects this option, but it isn’t until his repeated voyages undersea creating incredibly popular, uncritical TV nature shows reveal a rapidly deteriorating ecosystem that he becomes one of the world’s most impassioned voices for the environment. Solid family man? Not so much.
