Narrated by Rachel McAdams and featuring Sting, Sonic Sea reveals the impact of industrial and military ocean noise on whales and other marine life. The narrative is propelled by the story of Ken Balcomb, a former U.S. naval officer who solved a tragic mystery and changed the way we understand our impact on the ocean. Sonic Sea was written by Mark Monroe (The Cove, Racing Extinction) and has a haunting score by the Grammy-winner, Heitor Pereira (Minions, It’s Complicated).
