They raise awareness through storytelling rather than figures and analytics, resulting in a stronger focus on ocean protection. Craig\u2019s film, My Octopus Teacher, was nominated for an Oscar and won the Golden Panda, Grand Teton, and PGA. The film tells the story of the year he spent with a wild octopus and what he learned from this magnificent creature.\u00a0In today\u2019s episode, Craig shares his passion for the sea and recalls how he got into filmmaking. You\u2019ll hear about the time he met and filmed with the oldest group of people on our planet and what aspect of their culture piqued his interest. He remembers his time in the navy, the struggles of being a young filmmaker, and why he returned to Africa. He recounts the time he encountered \u201cThe Octopus\u201d and what motivated him to film its life. You\u2019ll also receive insight on global issues the world is facing and what we can do to help future generations.\u00a0\\\"When you fall in love with the wild, that\\'s the question you ask: How do we change human behavior?\\\" - Craig Foster\u00a0This week on Kathy Sullivan Explores:\u00a0\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Craig\\'s childhood, his life in South Africa, and his love for the sea\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Why Craig didn\\'t like school as a kid\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Where his interest in filmmaking and storytelling started\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Meeting the \\\"oldest people\\\" on our planet\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The most interesting part of hunter-gatherer cultures\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Craig\\'s experience in the navy, his life in Europe as a filmmaker, and his return to Africa\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Getting to know Craig\\'s childhood animals on a deeper level\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0What it was like being a cold water free diver\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Encountering \u201cThe Octopus\u201d\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The first animal whose track he recognized\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Understanding biodiversity as a member of it\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0How his experiences and journeys affected his son\\'s perception of the world\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Craig\\'s thoughts on the future and why it can be terrifying for humans\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0How science and storytelling can help people change their ways\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0How media has portrayed nature as a dangerous entity\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0What Sea Change is and their projects\u00a0Connect with Craig Foster:\u00a0\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Sea Change Project\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Film: My Octopus Teacher\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Sea Change Project on Instagram\u00a0Spaceship Not Required\u00a0I\u2019m Kathy Sullivan, the only person to have walked in space and gone to the deepest point in the ocean.\u00a0I\u2019m an explorer, and that doesn\u2019t always have to involve going to some remote or exotic place.
