Every second breath we take is generated by life in the oceans, and it’s up to all of us to protect them. The Air We Breathe dives deep into Parley’s global mission to safeguard our planet’s blue spaces – meeting the activists, scientists, Indigenous leaders, surfers, volunteers and marine biologists dedicating their lives to protecting the seas.
Shot on location with Parley country teams and their collaborators across three continents, Season 1 sees the crew traveling to Australia, Hawaiʻi and South Africa to uncover the unique relationships between people and the ocean in each region. The short films explore not only Parley’s work intercepting marine plastic pollution, but the deeper connections the organization is forming with local and Indigenous communities – people who have secured the land and seas for millennia and ultimately hold the key to their survival.
