PARK CITY , Jan 21 — He is best known as hunky, sea-dwelling superhero, but actor Jason Momoa brought a stark and sober warning about the perils of deep-sea mining to the Sundance film festival yesterday., a new documentary about the frenzied efforts by resource-hungry corporations to scrape valuable metals from vast swathes of the Pacific floor.
“There’s moments where I cried and got emotional” narrating the film, Momoa told AFP, before its world premiere at the festival in Utah. The film goes behind-the-scenes as its chief executive Gerard Barron courts wealthy investors with promises that little harm will be done to “the most barren, desolate part of the planet,” in contrast to the devastation that ongoing mining is causing rainforests.director Matthieu Rytz told AFP that “we know so little” about the real risk to the deep ocean.
