We’re proud to partner with the International Ocean Film Festival (IOFF) to present this thought-provoking documentary that explores the vital connection between what we eat and the health of our oceans.

We look forward to seeing you there.

What if our food could save the ocean?
The ocean is the source of life. It regulates the climate. It covers 70% of the planet's surface. The ocean is vital but it is under threat. And that is mainly because of our food. We don't think about it because we can't see it, but what we eat can have serious consequences for the health of the ocean. Fortunately, solutions do exist. In France, men and women are already laying the foundations for a more sustainable eating.
Malaury, a young ocean activist, sets off to hitchhike the roads of France to meet them. She will try to better understand the impacts of our food on the ocean. And above all, she will discover tangible solutions for eating well while preserving the ocean.

Director Biography - Julien Challandes and Malaury Morin

Julien Challandes has always spent a lot of time in the water. He is a former top-level swimmer and retired scuba diving instructor. He first got his hands on a camera beneath the surface of the ocean. It dates back to the time when he was teaching scuba diving in the Maldives, right in the middle of the Indian ocean. He had one wish: share the beauty of the ocean and encourage people to take action to preserve it. This led to the creation of the non-profit organisation Blutopia with his partner Malaury Morin. He then taught himself filmmaking, both in the field and at the YouTube Business School, as he likes to say.

Malaury grew up on the Atlantic coast, in La Rochelle. She is passionate about the marine world, loves surfing and even became a diving guide a few years ago. A little bonus: she is a graduate of ESCP Business School, majoring in Entrepreneurship. Today, it's she who coordinates the association's actions. In short, she's the boss! And she's also the host of the podcast online.
