What's the Story?
UNDER THE SEA WITH KEY follows photographer and underwater explorer Key as she focuses her energies on the conservation of animals that exist in our world. This documentary uses a lighthearted approach as we are invited along with Key as she goes through her typical day. Not only do we see her make her favorite breakfast smoothie, but we also see her spend time with friends who, like her, are addicted to playing in the water. Regardless of who she's with, she always encounters some spectacular sea life and gives viewers a view into a world that they may never get to see in real life.
Is It Any Good?
This beautifully filmed series is a spectacular way to expose kids to the beauty that exists beneath the water's surface. Not only do we see amazing creatures, but we hear Key talk about her efforts in conservation and the importance of keeping the environment above and below sea level clean, as every type of pollution can negatively affect animals. Under the Sea with Key not only educates but inspires viewers to care for our planet.
