Keith Scholey: 44 years working with David Attenborough
Over the past 100 years, oceans have progressed from being a complete mystery to being regarded as vital for our survival, according to Sir David Attenborough. That's almost Sir David's lifetime. The 99-year-old's latest film Ocean with David Attenborough showcases the beauty, life and wonder of the ocean, as well as the increasing threats it faces. But the film also provides hope and a glimpse at what a revived ocean could look like in just 50 years. The film was released in cinemas to coincide with David Attenborough's 99th birthday. Keith Scholey is an Emmy and Bafta award-winning natural history and environmental filmmaker who has worked with Sir David for 44 years. Keith directed Ocean with David Attenborough and speaks with Susie. Keith Scholey and David Attenborough on location while filming 'Ocean with David Attenborough'.
