Every year off the spectacular wild west coast of Norway, giant herring shoals up to several kilometers long and wide, migrates on thousand kilometers a phenomenon unseen at depth by man, but familiar to Are Pilskog, a biologist and wildlife cameraman who calls this breath-taking stretch of coastline his home. "The Silver of the Sea" follows Are's compassionate journey into the deep to expose this mysterious drama. With help from dedicated scientific experts, leading underwater cameramen and the latest ROV technology, Are tells a personal story of this natural phenomenon and the life it critically supports.
