North Sails — A Global Documentary Series
Premium Documentary Production in India for a Global Sustainability Campaign
Overview
North Sails — the iconic global sailing and lifestyle brand — partnered with Workbox to produce OceanForLife, a four-part international documentary series designed to raise awareness about plastic pollution and ocean conservation.

Alena Blohm (Germany) — Model & Ocean Activist
Simon Nessman (Canada) — Model, Surfer & Environmentalist
Gotzon Mantuliz (Spain) — Adventurer & Explorer
Michel Biel (France) — Actor & Advocate for Sustainability
The objective: create culturally rich, celebrity narratives, high-end production execution, and emotionally compelling environmental storytelling filmed across Mumbai’s key ecological impact zones.
