Zahara B @Zahara 12/12/2024 I generally hate documentaries if it’s not crime related, but this is a masterpiece. So moving and sad and well crafted.

It is so difficult to see what we are doing to other creatures, but we need constant exposure to such productions to really understand our role in all this destruction. See more 05/06/2022 I very much enjoyed the movie Chasing Coral. It was very informative, and its appeals to emotion were incredibly moving. The movie did a very good job of explaining complex things in an easily understandable way, and I greatly enjoyed learning about how coral reefs operate and how bleaching works. They also showed lots of relevant figures and had many experts give their statements, which added validity to the film. My favorite example of this was the interview with Charlie Vernon because I liked getting to see the opinion of someone who has been in this field for many years and knows what coral reefs were like before bleaching. I liked the parts where they talked about their struggles with the camera because it made the film much more relatable. It puts the researchers in perspective as real people who have problems and don't know all the answers. As I stated previously, the film's emotion was what really made it. The researchers stated how they wanted to leave emotions out, but it was impossible not to be emotional when they were watching an ecosystem die in front of them. Their emotions made their plea to care for the coral so much more significant. See more 04/30/2021 The documentary, Chasing Choral, was very eye opening and enlightening. It's one thing to hear about coral bleaching but to physically see it as it was filmed, was really heart breaking. The documentary did an excellent job demonstrating how dangerously close we are to loosing coral reefs, and perhaps even a whole ecosystem. The ocean is being greatly affected by the planets change in temperature, which happened in the first place because of human infrastructure. The increase of ocean temperatures is causing the corals to die, leaving only the skeleton of the coral to remain. It's important to note that many organisms depend on the coral to survive, so if the corals are dying, they will have nowhere to go. Our planet is sending us a sign that we need to change our ways before it is too late. The future of the planet is in jeopardy and it is up to us to fix the problem as well as start caring for our environment. See more 03/17/2021 People really need to start watching environmental documentaries like this and start educating themselves about what's happening to our planet. Due to global warming and ocean acidification, 50% of coral worldwide has been lost and within a few decades around 90% is projected to be lost within the next 30 years. Coral supports 1/4 of all marine life. See more 03/13/2021 It's got coral, but not as much as I'd have expected See more Read all reviews
