Life Below Water

The voiceover by Morgan Freeman that opens this 2 minute short is disarmingly deceptive.

Dominating every corner of the great sea, the ocean's newest inhabitants are making their permanent mark on life below water.  The creatures in this fascinating species do not have brains, teeth or even simple nervous systems. But miraculously, they can travel hundreds of miles, and live for thousands of years.

Right at that moment, when you think that this is a documentary about a new species of undersea life, it halts you in your tracks with one dreaded word.
