    Touching, funny, relevant

    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

    Totally recommend this !

    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.

    Enlightening, Deep... a "Must Watch"

    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.

    I'm totaly cried.

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