The Odyssey

This film shows his personal life and how he got funding for his expedition and family struggles. An important movie telling the true story how Jacques Cousteau help discover another world not in space but under the sea. This was an important moment in our history and as important as the moon landing,but most people just don't see it that way. He saw a hidden world and filmed it to show the word, Both him and Émile Gagnan developed the Aqua-Lung before that divers were connected through free-flowing air systems where divers were connected to the surface and lacked the freedom to film. The new method opened up the world under the oceans. Jacques and his family also pioneered marine conservation. He launched a petition campaign in 1990 to save Antarctica from mineral exploitation and the Cousteau Society continues his work today.
