Synopsis

At a time when man looks into the cosmos for new life forms, how much do we truly know about marine life? Are fish intelligent? Do they have feelings? Can they communicate?

We can mimic a dolphin, but can we imitate a shrimp? Can we act like a crab, behave like an eel, form an intricate and symbiotic relationship with a fish or a shark, to the extent that they accept us as part of their world?

‘Talking With Fishes’ is a sensational quest to discover whether fishes have feelings and intelligence and a dramatically compelling story about making contact.

Living ‘alongside’ the marine life for over 4 years, one man develops a groundbreaking understanding and unique ability to bond with the fish. ‘Learning their language’ by earning their trust, he encounters misunderstood daily habits and rituals, undocumented behaviour and symbioses, enchanting personalities and an extraordinary revelation that fishes can feel and enjoy, learn, recognise, remember and expect.

From highest quality macro imaging to Eels, Scorpionfish and Sharks, witness rare, misunderstood behaviour and extraordinary relationships between humans and fish. And introducing the Nassau Grouper – on the verge of extinction, yet still the most popular dinner dish – marvel as man forges a fascinating bond with a magnificent creature, in danger of disappearing forever. Curious and friendly, never-seen and unforgettable, a gap is bridged between man and marine life.

Filmed entirely in the wild, this spectacular award-winning natural history special is a stunning new form of documentary. Exploring relationships never seen before, this is pure, spellbinding adventure anda dazzling, innovative portrayal of marine animals, as they really are.
