Prada Re‑Nylon’s SEA BEYOND initiative continues its commitment to ocean education with a new collaboration with National Geographic CreativeWorks, starring actor Benedict Cumberbatch. Stewards of the Ocean: Japan marks the fourth chapter of the ongoing documentary series, which aims to promote ocean literacy through immersive educational expeditions.
Set in the tranquil waters of Japan’s Izu Peninsula, just two hours from Tokyo, the film explores a thriving marine ecosystem shaped by powerful currents and distinctive underwater terrain. In the documentary, Cumberbatch dives alongside award‑winning photographer Elisabetta Zavoli, drawing inspiration from renowned Japanese ichthyologist Sakana‑kun. His Exploration Team project introduces elementary school students to marine life, fostering early environmental awareness.
The film highlights the beauty and fragility of ocean ecosystems while underscoring Prada Re‑Nylon’s broader sustainability mission. Stewards of the Ocean: Japan is now available to watch on prada.com. The film is part of Prada Re‑Nylon’s SEA BEYOND initiative, developed in partnership with UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission to advance global ocean literacy.
