How it feels

Volunteers along Europe's winter coast work around the clock to rescue seals harmed by oil, plastic, and climate change. The seals fight back, and rescuers can only watch as storms worsen and the animals' conditions deteriorate. It shows people struggling to maintain a natural world in drastic decline.

What happens

Fra det vilde hav er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2021 instrueret af Robin Petré. Langs det isnende, vesteuropæiske vinterhavs kyster står et omfattende netværk af frivillige klar til døgnet rundt at rykke ud og redde vildfarne sæler fra olie, plastik og klimaforandringer. Men dyrene forsvarer sig med næb og klør mod de velmenende redningsfolk, som blot må se magtesløse til, mens atlanterhavsstormene tager til, og dyrenes forhold forværres. Vi tages med på en fascinerende og forstyrrende rejse ind i en verden, hvor mennesker krampagtigt forsøger at opretholde en natur i drastisk forfald. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
