Seantience

Seantience isn’t a documentary about the beauty of the ocean or the climate crisis.

It’s a documentary that raises questions we rarely ask ourselves: Do the planet’s most neglected animals have complex inner lives? How do they experience the world?
Seantience brings together leading voices in science and philosophy who share the latest evidence on the sentience of aquatic animals, including invertebrates—some of the most exploited yet least considered animals on the planet.
This documentary will give you a different perspective on animals as small as shrimps, which you probably never thought capable of feeling.
Winner of Best Cinematography at FICAA, and selected for SUNCINE International Environmental Film Festival
Produced by Animal Ethics and directed by Xiana Castro.
 But Seantience is more than a documentary: it’s an international campaign to raise awareness about the situation of aquatic animals. Find out how you can get involved at https://seantience.org/
