    Hello readers, I found this documentary on Netflix. I'm not sure if it's available on other streaming sites.

    My Octopus Teacher is about, you guessed it, an octopus and somebody who films it. I'm 55 and have never seen a documentary exposing so much emotion and beauty.

    A very touching story, showing that humans and nature can be a lot closer if we made an effort. Beautiful images and a lovely story.

    You can find a trailer on YouTube. ( also spoiler alert.)
    Enjoy...

    I watched a couple weeks ago and have continued to think about it off and on since. Very touching film.

    I really thought this was going to be a thread about a handsy adjunct professor.

    Was hoping for a Shape of Water scenario where the man & Octopus would get erotic.

    Same here. I had a history TA who seemed to spend the bulk of the weekly discussion section lining up his weekend with various freshmen . . . After a while I realized I could skip the readings.

    I'm a long time diver with a fascination for octopuses. They're amazing to observe underwater and are very intelligent creatures. Jacques Cousteau wrote of seeing them build underwater houses, complete with doors and windows.

    I came across this documentary a few weeks ago and watched it twice. Fantastic. My wife really enjoyed it too. Highly recommended, and the photography is beautiful.

    One minor disappointment was that there were no night scenes. These animals are very cool to watch at night and sometimes put on quite a "light show".
