The documentary investigates the enigmatic krill, a small sea creature that holds the potential to transform human nutrition while also posing risks to a vital ecosystem.

As the crew navigates these challenging waters, they delve into the implications of krill exploitation. The film raises critical questions about the balance between human dietary needs and environmental sustainability. Through stunning visuals and expert insights, Licence to Krill offers a thought-provoking look at the future of our oceans and the creatures that inhabit them.
