Bozeman Magazine

On Thursday, April 6th, the Bozeman Doc Series presents the Montana premiere of the critically acclaimed new documentary, Deep Rising. This exquisite fly-on-the-wall environmental doc is a gripping and up-to-the-minute tale of geopolitical, scientific, and corporate intrigue that exposes the machinations of a secretive organization empowered to greenlight massive extractions of metals, deemed essential to the electric battery revolution, from the deep sea floor. Narrated by Jason Momoa, Deep Rising illuminates the vital relationship between the deep ocean and sustaining life on Earth. Director Matthieu Rytz’s fly-on-the-wall access observes extraction companies as they co-opt scientific studies and deliver pitches to investors, proposing how the costs of industrializing our Earth’s last pristine environment can be justified to access metals they claim will benefit all of mankind. As oil conglomerates pivot investments to deep-ocean mining, Deep Rising examines humanity’s destructive pattern of extracting materials for profit and asks why we don’t choose, instead, to develop abundant resources to solve our energy problems. Deep Rising world premiered this January at the Sundance Film Festival. “Incisive…fascinatingly complex…a clarion call to rethink how we interact with the ocean.” The Playlist Doors open at 6:30pm. Tickets are available at the door or before the show online at www.bozemandocseries.org, where you can also learn more about the series, and view trailers for upcoming films. The series will continue through April 30th, 2023.
