PUMA.Creative Unveils HOME OCEANS Documentary Film Short as an Addition to Ocean Preservation Education Campaign

Herzogenaurach, Germany (ots/PRNewswire) -

Sportlifestyle company PUMA, through its PUMA.Creative programme,
has unveiled the environmental documentary film short HOME OCEANS, as
part of a larger ocean preservation education campaign. The
never-before-seen 10 minute film is from Yann Arthus-Bertrand, the
director of the visually-stunning environmental documentary with 500
million views, HOME - a film that PUMA.Creative supported through the
French luxury goods group, PPR. HOME OCEANS highlights marine issues
of: rising floodwaters, the depletion of sea mammals and sea birds,
changes to ecosystems, coral reefs and more. The film will be
available for public viewing at the 10 Volvo Ocean Race global
stopover ports, with a premiere at race start in Alicante, Spain at
the Volvo Ocean Race Dome and PUMA Quad.

"Part of our long-term sustainability initiatives at PUMA is to
help raise awareness and promote positive actions for environmental
issues; this includes the preservation of our world's oceans and
marine life," said Jochen Zeitz, Chairman of the Board of PUMA and
CEO Sports & Lifestyle Group and CSO of PPR. "Our participation in
the upcoming Volvo Ocean Race gives us an ideal backdrop to share the
amazing imagery and powerful message of the HOME OCEANS film," he
added.

In keeping with the style of the original film, HOME OCEANS
approaches the topic of climate change using only aerial photography
to illustrate the transformations made to the earth. Edited by
renowned editor, Claire Ferguson who comments "The HOME OCEANS film
shows how reliant we are on the oceans for everything from food, to
the air that we breathe. The film projects a message of concern but
also one of hope...there is time to change."

Free screenings of the film will take place at the Volvo Ocean
Race stop-over ports at the PUMA Quad in addition to story time
readings of the educational book "Marmo Saves Our Seas" with PUMA's
octopus mascot, Marmo. For a schedule of events, visit:
