Humanatee follows the French underwater archaeologist, former member of Jacques Cousteau’s team, and manatee protector Damien Leloup as he shares his extraordinary 21-year-long friendship with the manatees. This piece interweaves the beautiful human-animal relationship with the insidious forces that have wiped out much of the manatee population, leaving just 6,000 remaining worldwide.
The film features prominent ocean and manatee experts including Her Deepness Dr. Sylvia Earle, Dr. James Powell, Pat Rose and Joyce Kleen. Humanatee screened at the UN World Oceans Week at the Explorer’s Club in the ‘Manatees and Dugongs’ program on June 6.
