Chasing Coral

Chasing Coral should be an eye opener for everybody, but that would only work if everybody watched it, especially influent people that have to take big decisions. For people that continue to deny global warming is going on. Unfortunately those influent people, like are so-called 'world leaders', could not care less about all this, because greed, destruction and world domination is their only goal in life. The documentary starts slow, with some good footage but also some blurry archive footage. It's all interesting to watch though. But the best part, if I can say best in this case, is the ending, and i's not that colorful anymore. We, the humans, the so-called smartest specie on earth, are in fact the parasites of our planet, destroying everything at high speed. If the coral reefs are bleaching it's all our fault, and if this eco system dies in the next decades it will be our fault as well. The end of the documentary wants to give us a bit of hope, but honestly I don't believe in it. We are doomed to go from bad to worse, as greed and selfishness are the only goals of us humans. So Chasing Coral is a good documentary, but a sad and emotional one. It should be mandatory in schools or for everybody to see, so that maybe we would change our attitude, but that's just wishful thinking. The future generations will pay the price for our neglect and destruction of our once lovely planet.

A documentary that MUST be watched by the younger generation especially !

You'd experience a roller coaster of emotions as you navigate through the scenes.

At first, you're wonderstruck by the alluring beauty of the corals. Fast-forward, when you're shown their current reality - you can't help but feel heartbroken and deeply sad.

By the time the credits roll, you'd have gained a sense of attachment and responsibility towards nature, and a renewed motivation to do your part, in protecting it.

I saw this film recently at the Waimea Ocean Film Festival. It was the documentary I most wanted to see. The Big Island of Hawaii has coral reefs that have suffered from bleaching. If things do not change, we will lose our coral reefs and many fish will disappear. That will affect our fisherman and tourism. I fervently hope people will WAKE UP!

If you had this pending, go watch it now! It is everything a documentary must be. The production is awesome, same as the put together, facts and striking footage. If you love nature in any form, I warn you this could leave you crying hard and wanting to make everyone around you WAKE UP!! I can't even start imagining how all those places are right now, after more than a year of all this. We're killing our planet and corals are showing it in a breathtaking speed. Watch this and share it with everyone you can share it with.

Another sad but true reality. Can you explain to your grand children what you do when the coral still exist in this world?
