Had some beautiful shots of coral, and made me want the coral kid's job. It was also sobering what we're up against when it comes to climate change and how it's impacting corals now. Wish everyone would watch it and hope it helps change things for the better.

Watched part of it last night really opens your eyes to what's going on with reefs all over the world.

Yes, it's very sad. My favorite show as a kid growing up was the Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau. The man was a straight up genius and I think he saw this coming before just about anyone else. Read one of his books 25ish years ago..time to break it out again.

i loved the documentary however, i watched it with some non reef enthusiasts, and they did not enjoy it as much. They now understand the reality of the situation but it did not captivate them as it did us.
They thought it was boring at times and thought they spent more time explaining how they filmed the process than the process of bleaching or other issues corals face. Unfortunately, i have to agree with them on that point.

i kinda liked that part, the documentary was about their story...i think they told it well and showed how hard what they did truly was. the manual filming process they did was insane.

Great documentary but, yes, very sad. Makes me think we hobbyists will be replenishing the coral reefs at some point.
