Coral Ghosts
1 x 90’, 2021, 4K
‘Coral Ghosts’ is a story like no other, and the future of our world demands it be told. Dr. Tom Goreau has come from a long line of scientific photographers and marine
life specialists, his grandfather took the first ever underwater photos. Left with a huge inheritance of archival photos and the family legacy of protecting the world’s coral
reefs at a time when they have never faced greater threats. This enormous task has been placed on his shoulders his entire life, but time is running out for this scientist,
and for our planet. Goreau has assumed the crushing responsibility of bringing his family’s archive back to communities all around the world where they were originally
taken, to show people what their coral reefs once looked like so that we can see clearly just how much we have lost. Coral reefs will be the first ecosystems to die due to
global warming, but they won’t be the last. Told through intimate, never seen before archival film and photographs, and stunning underwater photography, this character
driven film brings viewers from a dusty attic in Cambridge to the shores of Jamaica, Australia, Bikini Atoll and Bali on a “mad” scientist’s journey to protect the coral that his
father died documenting. ‘Coral Ghosts’ is the wakeup call we all need. One man has devoted his entire life to what he knows is a global crisis, and now we need to listen.
