Award-Winning Director Barbara Ettinger & Co-Producer Sven Huseby Join Martha for Live Segment 2 Days Before A Sea Change Has National Primetime TV Debut on PLANET GREEN Sept. 26
09.01.2009 – NEW YORK -- A Sea Change, the multi-award-winning documentary about ocean acidification, will have a September to remember, including a special appearance on The Martha Stewart Show announced today, ahead of its national television debut on Discovery's Planet Green network.
"We are thrilled A Sea Change will have three wonderful opportunities this month to reach millions of Americans all across the US with its message about ocean acidification and the steps each one of us and our policy-makers can take to protect the oceans," said Barbara Ettinger, Director and Co-Producer of A Sea Change. "We have a lot of work to do to get ocean acidification on the agenda in Washington and at COP-15, the UN Climate Change Conference in December."
• The September events begin with the New York City premiere of A Sea Change at the American Museum of Natural History on Sunday, September 13 at 4:00 pm. The event is free with museum admission, and open to the public. The film will be followed by a panel discussion including the actor and activist Sam Waterston, the filmmakers, ocean acidification expert Dr. Richard Feely, and alternative energy investment consultant Tom van Dyke.
• The duo behind A Sea Change, award-winning director Barbara Ettinger and her husband and co-producer Sven Huseby will appear on The Martha Stewart Show on Thursday, September 24 at 10:00 am EST (nationally syndicated, check local listings).
• And then A Sea Change has its national primetime TV broadcast debut on the cable network Planet Green Saturday, September 26 at 8:00 pm (with re-runs starting the following week). Planet Green is the first and only 24-hour eco-lifestyle television network. The broadcast is part of Planet Green's "Reel Impact film" series.

• Sometimes called the "evil twin" of climate change, ocean acidification is caused by the burning of fossil fuels. The exhaust adds to the CO2 in the atmosphere and 30% is absorbed by our oceans. The result is water growing steadily more acidic. Ocean acidification makes it difficult for tiny creatures at the bottom of the food web to form their shells. The effects are working their way up to the fish that one billion people depend upon for their source of protein and livelihood.
• Awards A Sea Change has received include: Best Green Film, Kosovo International Documentary Film Festival; Grand Prize, Feature Documentary, FICA.
