Downtown Film Festival - Los Angeles 2009

A documentary about climate change and the long term effects of ocean acidification. Some of the excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is dissolving into seawater. It's changing the pH, making seawater more acidic. This water actually dissolves the shells of certain shellfish and coral reefs. The effects are working their way up the food chain. Imagine a world without fish: it’s actually a possibility if ocean chemistry continues to change. A Sea Change is the first documentary about ocean acidification, directed by Barbara Ettinger and co-produced by Sven Huseby of Niijii Films. Chock full of scientific information, the feature-length film is also a beautiful paen to the ocean world and an intimate story of a Norwegian-American family whose heritage is bound up with the sea.
