A spectacular cinematic exploration of the rich sea life in the North Sea seen through the eyes Peter van Rodijnen, one of Europe’s most respected underwater cameramen.

Peter has travelled the world, capturing breathtaking footage of some of the most spectacular oceans but has never been drawn to what he saw as the cold, lifeless grey waters of his native North Sea. As Peter dives into these challenging waters, he discovers an untamed natural ecosystem, in all its richness and fragility.

From the wild blue waters around the Scottish islands to the shallow delta of the Low Countries and up along the dramatic coastline of the Norwegian fjords. North Sea Untamed is a cinematic adventure and a voyage of discovery that reveals the North Sea in all its glory.

North Sea, Nature Untamed is a captivating and thought-provoking wildlife impact film and a powerful reminder that we must all work together to ensure the survival of our planet’s most precious resources.

This gorgeously shot underwater documentary was one of the most seen documentaries in Dutch cinemas in 2024.

“A beautiful ode to the underwater life in north-western Europe.” – Volkskrant
