A 5-minute found-footage collage by Josh Safdie that overlays narration from an old Jacques Cousteau documentary about fighting elephant seals onto a broadcast of George Foreman vs. Evander Holyfield, reframing the prizefight as a nature spectacle and blurring lines between sports viewing and wildlife observation.
