Chasing Coral

Chasing Coral is a 2017 documentary film about a team of divers, scientists and photographers around the world who mount an epic underwater adventure to document the disappearance of coral reefs. Chasing Coral is an Exposure Labs production directed by Jeff Orlowski (Chasing Ice) and produced by Larissa Rhodes. It was released globally on Netflix as a Netflix Original Documentary in July 2017.

Chasing Coral taps into the collective will and wisdom of an ad man, a self-proclaimed coral nerd, top-notch camera designers, and renowned marine biologists as they invent the first time-lapse camera to record bleaching events as they happen. Unfortunately, the effort is anything but simple, and the team doggedly battles technical malfunctions and the force of nature in pursuit of their golden fleece: documenting the indisputable and tragic transformation below the waves. With its breathtaking photography, nail-biting suspense, and startling emotion, Chasing Coral is a dramatic revelation that won’t have audiences sitting idle for long.
