About the Show

Thalassa (meaning 'sea' in Greek) brings you stories of the seas of the world and their effect on people and places from the four corners of the globe.

From people living on the volcanic island of Stromboli or the mega-residential Palm Islands complex in Dubai, or the naval academy in the Philippines training elite officers for ships worldwide or small communities in Rio de Janeiro fighting the corporate polluters of Guanabara Bay, Thalassa brings you both current affairs and human interest stories all rolled into one.

This top-rating series from France has been running weekly for over 30 years and SBS is proud to bring it to you in Australia on Sunday evenings at 6.00pm.
