The documentary, which marks the beginning of a first-look deal between National Geographic and the Cousteau Society, is slated to commence production this spring.<\/p>\n<p>Carolyn Bernstein, executive VP of scripted content and documentary films for National Geographic, said: \u201cJacques Cousteau was a conservation pioneer whose advocacy to protect our oceans dovetails perfectly with National Geographic\u2019s core values. We are honored that the Cousteau Society has entrusted us with this treasure trove of personal footage. Together with Liz Garbus, Dan Cogan and Evan Hayes, we hope to create a fitting tribute to Cousteau\u2019s legacy that will celebrate his life\u2019s work and unparalleled contributions to oceanography.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Garbus said: \u201cAs a little girl, I watched Jacques Cousteau in wonder and amazement every Sunday night. He brought cameras into a strange, wild and beautiful world few had ever seen, and nobody else had ever filmed before. He inspired me to dream and imagine my own unseen worlds. I want my children\u2019s generation to get to know this transcendent figure, to dream their own dreams and to be inspired to love and preserve the natural world just as he was.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Francine Cousteau, president of the Cousteau Society, added: \u201cWe are excited to work with National Geographic, Liz Garbus and this amazing film team. Our goal is to help people understand and appreciate the fragility of life on our water planet. This film will not only honor Jacques\u2019 legacy, but also further our message of conservation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Geographic Documentary Films has partnered with the two-time Academy Award-nominated director Liz Garbus (What Happened, Miss Simone?) and the Oscar-winning producers Dan Cogan (Icarus) and Evan Hayes (Free Solo) for a documentary feature about Jacques Cousteau, the famed ocean explorer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":12769,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[3746,1009,2062],"class_list":["post-12767","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-cousteau","tag-national-geographic","tag-national-geographic-documentary-films","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Nat Geo Greenlights Jacques Cousteau Feature Doc - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/natgeo-greenlights-jacques-cousteau-feature-doc\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Nat Geo Greenlights Jacques Cousteau Feature Doc - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"National Geographic Documentary Films has partnered with the two-time Academy Award-nominated director Liz Garbus (What Happened, Miss Simone?) and the Oscar-winning producers Dan Cogan (Icarus) and Evan Hayes (Free Solo) for a documentary feature about Jacques Cousteau, the famed ocean explorer.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/natgeo-greenlights-jacques-cousteau-feature-doc\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-05-10T14:22:02+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-05-10T15:34:23+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/05\/NationalGeographic-Jacques-Cousteau-519.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"450\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/natgeo-greenlights-jacques-cousteau-feature-doc\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/natgeo-greenlights-jacques-cousteau-feature-doc\/\",\"name\":\"Nat Geo Greenlights Jacques Cousteau Feature Doc - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-05-10T14:22:02+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-05-10T15:34:23+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/natgeo-greenlights-jacques-cousteau-feature-doc\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/natgeo-greenlights-jacques-cousteau-feature-doc\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/natgeo-greenlights-jacques-cousteau-feature-doc\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Nat Geo Greenlights Jacques Cousteau Feature Doc\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
