Craig Foster had been a nature documentarian for years when he discovered this life-changing creature in a kelp forest off the coast of South Africa. The things he learns about this octopus (apparently, he never gave her a name) are truly amazing. Watching her go from shy and cautious to actually affectionate is only one of the incredible experiences that they share. Foster narrates the story, off and on camera, and the cinematography is truly gorgeous. We’ve all seen nature docs before, but the “deep dive” into the details of this octopus and the personal connection Foster makes with her give this film an extra level of wonder.
