Today we are talking about last year’s Netflix doc about a special relationship between a National Geographic diver and a small octopus. What started as an experiment seeing what would happen if he visited the octopus everyday turned into a life lesson at the perfect time that he needed it.
Craig Foster: “What she taught me was to feel… that you’re part of this place, not a visitor. That’s a huge difference.”

Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:
- The cinematography under the ocean
- The sounds of the film expressing the calm and the fear
- His observation of the ocean and the octopus’ behavior
- Her different disguises and ways of transporting through the sea
- He questions what she gained from the relationship
- She taught him to be empathetic to the other, creatures
