A global journey to explore the undeniable connection of our cities on land to the vibrant parallel world beneath the sea. Flying across iridescent tropical reefs, brushing through a cloud of a million jellyfish, and swimming along sub-arctic seawalls pulsating with anemones and crustaceans - and considering what it would mean if one of these wonderlands were to become the last reef.

Winner of Best Underwater Cinematography, Best Music, Best Marine Conservation Message and Best of Environmental Films at the 2012 Intenational Wildlife Film Festival!

About the film
From the Academy-Award nominated creators of the Broadway show STOMP and the award-winning film Wild Ocean, The Last Reef is an uplifting, inspirational  cinema experience capturing one of nature's more vibrant and diverse wonderlands. Exotic coral reefs, vibrant sea walls in the sub-arctic pulsating with anemones and crustaceans: these biodiversity hot spots are as vital to our lives as the rainforests. Shot on location in Palau, Vancouver Island, French Polynesia, Mexico, and The Bahamas, The Last Reef takes us on a global journey to explore the connection of our cities on land with the ocean's complex, parallel world of the coral reefs beneath the sea.
 

Run time: 40 min.
