Chasing Coral

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

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.

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!

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!
