Chasing Coral

Incredible how our ocean its changed :( we are still in time to save our planet!!!

Destruction of Corals due to climate change is breathtakingly presented in this painstakingly told TV show. This is one of a kind reality show which moves any sane human being. Accidentally found this on Netflix. My best TV show (90 minutes) till date!

This is my first review on IMDb. I got a chance to see this film at Sundance London and it was so incredibly inspiring that I felt this film must be seen by people. Sadly this screening coincided with Trump pulling out of the Paris climate change deal, which makes this film even more important.

The director Jeff Orlowski and his crew embark on a quest to document and show the audience how quick and devastating the effects of global warming are on the coral reefs around the world.

The documentary has funny laugh-out-loud moments, takes us on an emotional journey where we see how deeply the filmmakers care for this subject, but most importantly it brings the message home - that things are changing and something needs to be done. A fantastic, motivating and hopeful film that is 100% relevant to the issues we face today, not to mention the stunning cinematography 10/10

This important documentary serves as a wake up call to deniers of man made climate change and also to those who just don't see the need for concern. It takes the time to teach us about basic coral anatomy, their reliance on zooplankton, and then chronicles the surging ocean temperatures and the direct correlation with the death of entire swaths of reef. This film will make you cry as it makes you come to grips with the reality of climate change. Watch it, and then share it with others too, to help educate those too distracted to understand the calamity we're witnessing.

While it doesn't go into ocean acidification, that is where I'd challenge the viewer to explore next. It's not a counter theory, but rather the two are interrelated.

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.
