My Octopus Teacher (2020) “I hadn’t been a person that was overly sentimental towards animals before. She was teaching me to become sensitized to the other. Especially wild creatures.”

“’Okay, I trust you. I trust you, human, and now you can come into my octopus world.’ And she’s moving towards me and my natural instinct to gently back away. And then I just wanted to keep still, so I held onto a rock. She just kept coming and then covered my whole hand. I’d been underwater for quite a long time, so I just gently pushed for the surface, thinking she would move off my hand. But she didn’t. She just rode my hand right to the surface. There I was, just staring into the eyes of this incredible creature.” My Octopus Teacher (2020)
