OA Alliance short film production
One of the OA Alliance’s core objectives is to increase awareness and visibility of ocean acidification as a climate-ocean impact and call for an ambitious response. We are exploring creative ways to make the “unseen” impacts of climate-ocean change seen and emotionally felt, with the goal of motivating larger constituencies to action.
To this end, we are partnering with LUMA Storytelling to create a short film featuring OA Alliance members’ stories and experiences tackling ocean acidification and climate-ocean change.
Our objective
We want to create a character-led and emotional documentary that threads three different intimate stories, in three very distant locations, about the impact of ocean acidification and what people are doing about it.
Audiences seem to be rediscovering documentaries, captivated by their real-life stories, emotional depth, and the powerful truths they unveil. We believe this is the ultimate way to wake people up to the dangers of ocean acidification. By following real individuals, fishermen, marine scientists, government leaders and indigenous tribes; viewers can feel the impact on human lives and the environment.
Stories filled with passion and struggle create a powerful connection, making science real and urgent. Emotional narratives stick with us, moving hearts and minds far more than dry facts ever could.
Ocean acidification is one of the various impacts of climate change on the ocean; however, this isn’t just an environmental issue—it's about protecting the livelihoods, cultures, and future of communities worldwide. We need to take action and fight for our oceans before it's too late.
The documentary aims to bring this subject to the table by sparking crucial conversations, shed light on unsung heroes fighting against this invisible threat, and catalyze collaboration between key players.

We want to feature the OAA network of government and non-government members who are committed to take climate-ocean action. We want to provide a platform to showcase their work to inspire understanding, emotional resonance, and change.
Giving a special focus on the large layer of inequity that exists. Where 70% of all ocean acidification knowledge is currently produced in N. America and European countries, demonstrating a huge equity gap when it comes to taking effective action at an international level.
