Chasing Coral - A Climate Crisis

Zack Rago was featured in the Netflix documentary Chasing Coral - a film that is both captivating and horrifying. Coral reefs are magnificent ecosystems which function as the nurseries of our marine world. However, these spectacular places are feeling the heat, quite literally. Our changing climate is having dramatic impacts, at a global scale, on our coral reefs and all of the organisms that call it home. This presentation explores the experience of documenting this impact through the production of the Netflix film Chasing Coral, how we can shed light on an ecosystem that this largely out of sight and out of mind and create an educated general public that can stand up for the issues facing our natural world.
