Oscar-Winner "My Octopus Teacher" Explores Unique Human-Octopus Friendship | Amanpour and Company

Natural history filmmaker Craig Foster was burnt out and depressed when he decided to put his career on hold. He took up daily diving at home in Cape Town, South Africa, and it was in the ocean that he struck up an unusual friendship with a wild octopus. Filmed over an eight-year period, "My Octopus Teacher" documents this unique bond and the valuable lessons it taught about balance and connection to the natural world. The film won a best documentary BAFTA and an Oscar.

Originally aired on April 19, 2021.
