Prada Re-Nylon 2025
Showcasing the philosophy and actuality of Prada Re-Nylon, these episodes cross the Atlantic Ocean to explore the seas of Europe and Central America, charting environmental actions already underway to help safeguard marine life for generations to come.
Reflecting global concerns and the shifting sensibilities of new generations, this docu-series explores fashion’s ability to make a difference and create true and lasting positive change on the environment around it.
For the second film, Benedict Cumberbatch travels to the Norwegian town of Bodø, to see the impact of humanity on the sonic underwater environment. Captured on film within the ocean of the Arctic Circle, whales and other oceanic mammals use a variety of sounds for communication and sensation. The song of whales in particular can cover vast distances — their haunting sounds have been studied to even flow across entire ocean basins. Environmental advocate, actress, SEA BEYONDer and Goodwill Ambassador of the project Valentina Gottlieb speaks with Dr. Heike Vester, a biologist who specializes in social behavior and bio-acoustics of marine animals, to examine the impact of human activity on the rich acoustic environment of the ocean — the noise pollution of shipping, and seismic surveys in the search for natural oil and gas. It also details measures we can take to combat this disruption, and help maintain the delicate balance of marine life, sustaining species and their languages for future generations.
