NYC PREMIERE A LIFE ILLUMINATED follows trailblazing marine biologist Dr. Edie Widder – one of the first women in her field and one of the first humans to explore the ocean’s twilight zone – as she descends 3,300 feet into the ocean’s darkest depths. From capturing the first-ever footage of the elusive giant squid to unveiling the glowing mysteries of deep-sea bioluminescence, Edie embarks on her most daring quest yet: to document a bioluminescent phenomenon that could forever change how we understand life on Earth.
