Love Nature, PBS pair up for South Africa migration doc The Ocean’s Greatest Feast

The Ocean’s Greatest Feast follows the annual sardine migration off South Africa

Blue Ant Media’s 4K natural history channel Love Nature and US broadcasting group The WNET Group, part of the PBS network, have coproduced a feature documentary about South Africa’s annual sardine run.

The Ocean’s Greatest Feast will debut on PBS, Love Nature’s linear and streaming platforms, Sky Nature in the UK, Italy and Germany, France Télévisions and SVT in Sweden.

Produced by Earth Touch, the doc follows billions of sardines as they travel up the east coast of South Africa to Mozambique between May and July, providing a moving banquet for an array of marine predators.

Blue Ant International handles international pre-sales and licensing outside coproduction territories for The Ocean’s Greatest Feast.

Carlyn Staudt, global general manager of Love Nature, said: “The cutting-edge technology and techniques that Earth Touch uses in The Ocean’s Greatest Feast not only showcases never-before-seen perspectives, but results in an incredibly breath-taking and compelling story about the creatures who play a part in this natural phenomenon.”
