In a worldwide exclusive, CTV News hosts a conversation and presentation from Oscar-winning filmmaker James Cameron and his lifelong mentor, scientist and explorer Joe MacInnis. Here's how to watch.
The conversation will include information on Maclnnis’ role as a mentor for Canadian explorers like Cameron, who have dedicated their time to ocean observation and research.
Cameron has been in contact with MacInnis since the age of 14, after a visit to Toronto's Royal Ontario Museum, which at the time was featuring a submersible designed by his now-mentor. Since then, the pair has worked together on film and research projects including the Deepsea Challenger, the submersible Cameron used to descend 11,000 metres to the bottom of the Mariana Trench a decade ago.Visitors will get a chance to learn about Cameron’s submersible known for solo piloting to the deepest part of the Pacific Ocean in 2012 which descended 11,000 metres below the surface.," at the Alex Trebek Theatre, located at 50 Sussex Dr.
The exhibit features the gruelling conditions Cameron faced, such as physical water pressure and first-hand exposure to environmental impacts like overfishing, pollution and climate change.
