Jane Goodall and Leonardo DiCaprio attend ‘Sea of Shadows’ US-Theatrical Premiere

July 2019 /United States. The Documentary-Thriller ‘Sea of Shadows‘ , directed by Richard Ladkani, produced by Terra Mater Factual Studios in association with Appian Way, Malaika Pictures and The Wild Lens Collective, celebrated its US-Theatrical Premiere on July 10th with attendees, Jane Goodall and Leonardo DiCaprio at the NeueHouse Theatre in Los Angeles.

For the second time, Leonardo DiCaprio collaborates with Terra Mater Factual Studios as Executive Producer and with the support of Jane Goodall on ‘Sea of Shadows’ as she did on Terra Mater’s previous feature documentary ‘The Ivory Game‘.

Since its world premiere in February, ‘Sea of Shadows’ continues its path to create an impact at various screenings, such as for the Mexican government, as well as the US State Department in Washington and in front of members of CITES (“Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora”) in Geneva, Switzerland. These screenings have stirred hearts and minds at various key political positions, so that we can potentially save the Gulf of California and the Vaquita, the smallest whale of the world, in spite of the destruction that continues to take place.

‘Sea of Shadows‘ will eventually open on 40 theatres across the US on July 12th, whilst Austrian cinema-going audiences will only have to wait until September to watch this powerful tale.
