Surf's up, hippo style — nature's weirdest flex you never knew existed.
Mike Fay and Enric Sala are on a quest to protect the rich coastal waters of Gabon, home to surfing hippos, sharks and humpback whales.
Cinematography
Those hippo wave shots belong in a nature poetry book.
Direction
Fay and Sala's genuine passion saves it from generic doc territory.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Mike Fay spent 455 days walking across the entire Congo Basin — this doc is basically his vacation footage.
Gabon later created one of Africa's largest marine protected networks, partly thanks to this expedition's footage. Nature docs can actually change policy!
