Directed by Matthieu Rytz, the film sheds light on Earth's last untouched wilderness—its largest living space and a critical carbon sink—and the environmental and geopolitical stakes tied to its preservation.

Jason, who also serves as an executive producer, brings his passion for ocean conservation to this project, aligning it thematically with his iconic portrayal of Aquaman. The documentary exposes the potential devastation deep-sea mining could unleash on these fragile ecosystems, emphasising the urgency of protecting the planet’s final frontier.

Deep Rising not only explores the hidden wonders of the deep ocean but also examines its critical role in maintaining Earth's ecological balance.
