23Spa Ceylon, the world’s largest Luxury Ayurveda chain, together with All About That Reef and Scope Cinemas, highlights the urgency of ocean conservation through public screenings of the globally acclaimed documentary ‘OCEAN with David Attenborough’ in Sri Lanka.
The free public screenings will take place on September 30, 2025, at the Scope Cinema Multiplex, Havelock City Mall, scheduled for 1:30 PM, 4:00 PM, and 7:00 PM. The screenings invite the public, media, and conservation advocates to witness the beauty and fragility of the oceans, and to join the call for impactful environmental action.
“Oceans are a vital natural resource, sustaining life on Earth and supporting the livelihoods of over 3 billion people. Yet today, they face growing threats from climate change, pollution, and human activity. According to the United Nations, more than 20 million tonnes of plastic enter our waters each year, with plastic accounting for 85% of all marine waste. As a responsible global brand, Spa Ceylon believes marine conservation is a shared responsibility that transcends borders. This screening is a small but meaningful step to inspire collective action towards safeguarding oceans for future generations”, said Spa Ceylon - Co-Founder and Group Director, Shalin Balasuriya.
Celebrated worldwide, the documentary ‘OCEAN with David Attenborough’, highlights the wonders of marine ecosystems while shining a spotlight on the urgent threats facing ocean life today. Produced under limited release guidelines, the screenings in Sri Lanka emphasize the importance of storytelling in building awareness and inspiring action on marine conservation.
“Sri Lanka signing the agreement to establish a system for Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in international waters is a milestone that shows what collective action can achieve for our oceans. Screening ‘OCEAN’ is our way of reminding people that every effort, whether it’s protecting, caring, or even just sharing knowledge about the sea, contributes to something far greater than ourselves. The ocean connects us all, and when we choose to stand up for it, we’re making a selfless commitment to protect life on Earth for generations to come”, said All About That Reef - Founder, Aindri Morahela
“At Scope Cinemas, we see collaboration as the key to creating lasting impact. By working with Spa Ceylon and All About That Reef, we’re showing that cinema can go beyond entertainment - it can unite communities, spark important conversations, and drive positive change. This initiative is a reminder that the big screen has the power to influence society for the better”, said Scope Cinemas - Executive Chairman, Naveen Cader.
The partnership between Spa Ceylon, All About That Reef, and Scope Cinemas highlights the importance of fostering meaningful collaboration between the private sector and conservation organisations in driving environmental action for global change.
