When the news about the oil spill off the shores of Peru, film maker Ran Levy-Yamamori decided to pack his gear and travel to document the effect of the spill on the wildlife.
However, the moment he stepped on Ancon beach and met with the amazing local fishermen, he felt how his mind was changing. He suddenly realized that he was actually creating “When the Ocean Turns Black”.
He felt that his eyes and his mind were shifting between the ocean, the wildlife and the people who are all affected by the huge oil spill.
This film will help open your eyes to understand how fragile the oceans are, how easy it is to pollute and destroy, and how difficult it is to preserve and protect.
What happens to the fishermen and the seashore communities who depend on the ocean for their living? What about the wildlife and the area?
Oil spills can happen anywhere and anytime, but are we prepared to avoid and to prevent them? “We all make mistakes, we are humans”, as Diego says in the film, and adds: “But to fix them, we have to work together.” Peru. Dir. Ran Levy-Yamamori
