FILM DESCRIPTION: The octopus may be the closest we get to meeting an alien. They evolved from a common cousin more than 500 million years ago and have proven themselves as intelligent creatures with problem-solving abilities. So what happens when you invite an eight-legged alien into your living room? This documentary follows marine biologist David Scheel as he tracks his evolving relationship with an octopus.
