Synopsis

Fatal Watch

This gripping, true crime documentary set on the high seas exposes the largely unseen and fascinating world of fisheries observers, whose warnings about illegal fishing practices have resulted in fatal consequences for those sounding the alarm.

Wonders of the Sea

The ocean depths are explored with the aid of a submarine chamber of Williamson's invention and a few hardy souls. The construction of the device is examined; but most of the footage is given to plant and animal life, a girl swimming among the coral growths, and two divers who encounter a moray and an octopus.
