Deep Threat

This humorous, non-narrated film makes a serious ecological point: the sea has its own laws, and man is accountable. A food chain in the sea and the relationship between predator and prey are depicted as man evolves and gains control of the plentiful earth. He destroys his natural environment through industrialization, pollution and the growth of cities. This "train of progress" eventually reaches back to the sea: life in the sea is destroyed as man exploits its resources and reaches the limit of what the sea can sustain. He grabs the final stopper, pulls the plug, and the world goes down the drain. Yet the cycle continues.
