Very good news for the world’s oceans. The last pristine ocean ecosystem remaining on earth is now protected thanks to a landmark agreement hammered out by 24 nations and the European Union. Over 600,000 square miles of the Ross Sea in Antarctica will be off-lmits to commercial fishing and hunting of marine life.
The Ross Sea is a deep bay in the Antarctic Ocean, which produces about three-quarters of the nutrients that sustain life in the rest of the world’s oceans, upwelled by currents that carry them around the world.

THE LAST OCEAN film profiles the Ross Sea and the long international battle to protect it. Featuring top scientists, including Dr. Sylvia Earle and Dr. Daniel Pauly, as well as international political leaders, the film examines both the science and politics behind the efforts to preserve Earth’s last truly wild ocean.

New Film on Nuclear Weapons Screening at UN
Posted by Video Project on 10/1/2016 to
News
The United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs on October 12 is screening THE NUCLEAR REQUIEM, a new film produced by former ABC News Executive Producer Robert Frye now available from The Video Project.
North Korea’s nuclear tests and the potential for a new global arms race with Russia provide stark reminders of the enormous threat posed by the most lethal weapon ever invented.
Featuring more than 30 top security experts from around the world, THE NUCLEAR REQUIEM presents an updated, in-depth look at the continuing danger nuclear weapons pose, an honest assessment of the current obstacles to disarmament, and a frank, yet hopeful, discussion of what it will take to overcome the roadblocks to a safer world.
The film includes footage from President Obama’s historic visit this year to Hiroshima, the first by a U.S. President. In his speech, Obama suggests we must "look directly into the eye of history and ask what we must do differently to curb such suffering again."
"Intriguing and compelling... highlights the terror and hope nuclear weapons invoke.”
- William Lanouette, Author, Genius in the Shadows: A Biography of Leo Szilard
"A thoughtful film exploring the contours of our Nuclear Age.”
- Kelly DeVine, Global Peace Film Festival
