'Proteus' is an animated documentary film written and directed by David Lebrun in 2004.Jennifer Frazer, [https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/artful-amoeba/proteus-how-radiolarians-saved-ernst-haeckel/ "Proteus: How Radiolarians Saved Ernst Haeckel"]. 'Scientific American', January 31, 2012. It depicts a 19th-century understanding of the sea by interweaving the life and work of German biologist and researcher Ernst Haeckel with excerpts from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's epic poem 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner', and the story of the oceanographic Challenger expedition of the 1870s.
One-celled microorganisms known as radiolarians feature prominently in Haeckel's fascination with the observable natural world and the underlying guiding principles assumed to be implicit in its very existence.
