Granada International undertakes new underwater adventure

Granada International has inked a deal to invest in and distribute a new high definition documentary series, produced by and starring Jean-Michel Cousteau.
The deal was announced by Nadine Nohr, Granada’s Managing Director.
San Francisco-based PBS station KQED will co-produce the six one-hour series, entitled 'Ocean Adventures', which will renew the renowned Cousteau tradition of infusing thrilling underwater adventure with ecology and exploration.
Accompanied by marine scientists and ecologists, Peabody and Emmy-award winner Jean-Michel Cousteau and a team of 'oceanauts' from his Ocean Futures Society will explore an exciting array of environments all over the planet - dangerous and spectacular places that are inaccessible to most humans. The series will far surpass its 16mm film predecessors with High Definition video (HDTV) footage, together with extended depth of field and crisp digital sound.
Viewers will witness in high resolution every tooth of a shark approaching divers, interiors of sunken ships, brilliant lace-like coral undulating in the current, glimmering scales of tropical fish, and the results of man’s unchecked impacts on our water planet.
Granada International has worldwide distribution rights excluding the US and France.
Mark Reynolds, Head of Factual at Granada International, said: "I am delighted that we are working with Jean-Michel and his team on this fabulous project. This series will be one of the 'must have' documentaries - the high definition element, allied with the Cousteau knowledge and flair, will deliver the ultimate in underwater factual programming."
