Chasing Coral

Chasing Coral documents the alarmingly rapid disappearance of one of the world’s most vital natural wonders: the ocean’s intricately constructed coral reefs.

Working with a team of expert nature photographers and camera operators, director Jeff Orlowski captures the inspiring beauty and biodiversity found within coral reef ecosystems. In moments that are often unsettling, the vast human footprint disrupts the reefs’ delicate balance. From plastic entanglements and bleached expanses to rotting fragments, the film offers an unfiltered look at the anthropogenic impact on coral reefs.

Through interviews with marine biologists and other scientific experts, the documentary explores the frightening speed at which coral reefs are disappearing. Between breathtaking images of these living underwater structures, the film poses urgent questions about why this is happening and how it might be stopped.
