    Seahorses: Wanted Dead or Alive

  • Overview

    With a horse's head, a monkey's tail and sex-swap parenting, seahorses are one of the ocean's strangest and most charismatic inhabitants. In this one hour special, wildlife filmmaker Natali Tesche-Ricciardi sets out to investigate something that most people don't realize - seahorse populations are in crisis from pollution and overfishing for tourist souvenirs, aquarium stock and traditional Chinese medicine. With the help of Project Seahorse, traders and fishermen are changing their ways to help wild seahorse populations. The future for wild seahorses remains uncertain but one fact cannot be disputed - our future generations will want to experience these enchanting fish - in their natural habitat and very much alive.

The Sea Horse(fr)

1935-08-10

Examines the sea horse, the only fish that swims upright. We watch it use its prehensile tail to wrap around plants and other sea horses. A frontal bulge houses organs including an air ballast. Three fins propel this fish. We see a female place her eggs in a male's pouch where they are fertilized and nurtured until birth in violent contractions. Inside the pouch are nurturing blood vessels. We then follow the growth of an embryo, greatly magnified: we examine its heart beating and its dorsal fin moving. Young sea horses attach themselves to each other. The film ends with images of many sea horses moving on the ocean floor, superimposed on a horse race.

Why do some individuals flee from war, while others actively choose to engage in it? This military documentary explores the experiences of Belarusian volunteers who participate on the Ukrainian side in the Russian-Ukrainian war. The film unfolds in three parts: recruits, active combatants, and veterans. It delves into the psychological dimensions of these heroes, exploring what motivates them to join the war, identifying potential commonalities among volunteers, and, most crucially, addressing their return to civilian life. The documentary raises numerous questions, including the impact of traumatic events on the psyche, especially when individuals have willingly participated in them.
