5. Chasing Coral

Coral reefs, being the incredibly complex and sophisticated ecosystems that they are, play a key role in the livelihoods of millions of species — including humans. However, because of climate change and warming waters, corals are dying in a never before seen speed.

Chasing Coral follows divers, photographers and scientists in their quest to understand and capture the unprecedented speed coral reefs are disappearing from our oceans. It provides a meta-narrative by making the people who produce the documentary a part of it.

The passion of the people involved is incredibly apparent and the documentary displays the urgency of the situation in a very approachable way. You (or the said climate change denier) will be left a little teary-eyed but also determined to do something about climate change.
