- Directed by award-winning filmmaker, photographer, and conservationist Ian Shive (Midway: Edge of Tomorrow), Hidden Pacific is a pioneering film profiling the Pacific Ocean's protected and remote national wildlife refuge islands and marine national monuments. Key locations include Palmyra Atoll, within the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument, Rose Atoll Marine National Monument, in America Samoa, and Midway Atoll, part of Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument and site of the pivotal World War II Battle of Midway. The film's breathtaking footage of these faraway islands will leave audiences with a deep-felt appreciation for these extraordinary places and the beauty of nature left untouched by civilization. The storied histories of these atolls - from the WWII Pacific Theater to their present environmental recovery and ecological research initiatives - provide the platform from which the film explores a diversity of science and human-interest stories. These places are vitally important to nesting sea birds, which have few other options on their migratory journeys, and provide crucial habitats for marine life, such as endangered green sea turtles, manta rays, and Hawaiian monk seals. The film seeks to educate the public about the critical role these marine national monuments play in the face of environmental threats such as climate change, global warming, rising sea levels, ocean acidification, overfishing, and plastics pollution. Political forces and other encroachments could forever alter the delicate balance of these pristine marine ecosystems and affect the overall health of the planet. Hidden Pacific presents never-before-seen footage of these rare environments - blue-green islands, atolls, and corals reefs thriving with a dizzying array of wildlife and tropical beauty - and highlights the splendor of these special places and their important role in safeguarding our planet.
